Chocolate Chip Option

  • Pour 1-2 cups of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot liner. Place a glass bowl on top of the liner - make sure the glass bowl fits inside the pot with the top of the bowl above the liner like a traditional double boiler.
  • Set Instant Pot to Saute - be sure it’s on low or normal and not high.
  • Place coconut oil and chocolate chips in the glass bowl.
  • Stir chocolate mixture until smooth.
  • After the chocolate is smooth, press cancel and then hit the keep warm button.
  • Dip strawberries in chocolate, covering almost to the stem. Place covered strawberries on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • If you want, add some crushed peanuts or shredded coconut to some of the strawberries.
  • Place berries in the fridge for 15 minutes to allow chocolate to harden before serving.  These will keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 days or the freezer for 2 months.

Notes

Chocolate Chip Option -  21 Day Fix: 1 YELLOW treat swap (per 2 strawberries); WW link for personal points: Chocolate Covered Strawberries (per 2 strawberries)
Pantry Chocolate Option - 21 Day Fix: 1/4 PURPLE, 1 1/2 sweetener tsp, 2 TSP (per 2 strawberries); WW link for personal points: Chocolate Covered Strawberries - pantry option (per 2 strawberries)
**If you have smaller strawberries or if you dip lower, you can make and have MORE...so if you make 30 strawberries, you can have 3 for the same counts.  If you make 38 strawberries, you can have 4 for the same counts, except 1/3 purple.
If you add peanuts or coconut to your strawberries, be sure to count your orange or blue.  I measured 1/2 orange for each strawberry.
