Fill a separate bowl with shredded coconut.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip into the melted chocolate. Lift and twist slightly letting the excess chocolate fall back into the bowl.
Dip into the bowl holding the coconut and coat.
Set the strawberry on the parchment paper and repeat the process with the remaining strawberries.
Set aside in a cool place until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.
Consumed in moderation, dark chocolate is a great source of minerals such as iron, zinc, and magnesium. The cocoa that is present in dark chocolate also contains antioxidants called flavonoids. These antioxidants support our health and immune system.
