Instructions
- Wash and dry strawberries, leaving tops intact.
- Microwave peanut butter in microwave-safe bowl for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed and runny.

- Place strawberries on cooling rack, and store in freezer at least 20 minutes, or until peanut butter has hardened.

- Use a fork to pierce strawberry to help with coating.
- If you want your chocolate and/or peanut butter to be a little more runny and glossy, add a teaspoon of melted coconut oil to each after heating.
