Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing your fresh strawberries under cool water. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel, ensuring they are completely moisture-free. Arrange your strawberries on a plate lined with parchment paper, leaving space for dipping and decorating later.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine high-quality chocolate chips with a tablespoon of coconut oil. Heat in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy—this usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling it gently to coat the entire berry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl before placing them upright on the parchment-lined plate.
  4. While the chocolate is still warm and tacky, attach the candy eyes to the dipped strawberries to create adorable turkey faces. For the legs, gently press a pretzel twist into the base of each strawberry.
  5. Use mini marshmallows to craft fluffy feathers around the top of each strawberry.
  6. Place the decorated Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
  7. Once set, carefully transfer your Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys onto a decorative tray. Arrange them in a festive pattern.
