How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Learn how to make Chocolate Covered Strawberries with my easy Homemade Paleo Chocolate and surprise your Valentine with a healthy treat.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries are a great Valentine’s Day dessert. Since they contain a fruit rich in antioxidants they’re healthier than most. However, there’s a hitch. Often, store bought chocolate contains dairy, making this classic treat a no-go for those on a dairy-free diet. Same for all of you avoiding refined sugar. Or soy. Since my Homemade Paleo Chocolate is dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and soy-free you’re in luck.

This paleo dessert is a game changer! My Chocolate Covered Strawberries are not only healthy, they’re delicious! Follow these step-by-step instructions and make your special someone a healthy Valentine’s Day treat.
