FAQs
Q: Can I use frozen strawberries?
A: No. Use fresh strawberries. Frozen ones are wet and will not work well.
Q: How do I melt chocolate without a microwave?
A: Use a double boiler on low heat. Stir until smooth and be careful not to burn it.
Q: Can I skip coconut oil?
A: Yes, but coconut oil helps make the chocolate smooth and shinier. Without it the chocolate may be thicker.
Q: How long do they last at room temperature?
A: Not long. Chocolate can sweat and strawberries can soften. Keep them in the fridge until serving.
