Chocolate Sauce

½ Cup 100% Cacao Chips A rich chocolatey addition with a good amount of iron, potassium, and vitamin D.
3 Whole Medjool Dates A sweetener to the chocolate sauce. Add 1 more or use less medjool dates depending on how sweet or bitter you'd like your chocolate. Also, a great source of fiber.
1 Cup Plant Milk A great addition in order to blend together the cacao chips and medjool gates. Also a source of various micronutrients depending on the product used.

Instructions

Chocolate Sauce

In a small blender, add the cacao chips, medjool dates, and plant milk, then blend until mixed thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to a pot on low heat.
Heat the mixture on low heat until it is evenly melted then transfer to a small bowl. (If the mixture starts to stick to the bottom of the pot, then you can add small amounts of plant milk at a time and stir).

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Remove the top leafy greens off of the strawberries. (Compost if able to).
Dip the strawberries into the small bowl of chocolate sauce and make sure to evenly cover the surface of the strawberries.
Place the chocolate covered strawberries onto a piece of parchment paper that is on a plate.
Put the plate into the fridge or freezer and cool the chocolate covered strawberries until their surface has hardened.
