Method
 

Preparation and Assembly
  1. Wash the strawberries (leave the stem on) and dry well.
  2. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each round.
  3. Holding the stem of the strawberry, dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling generously.
  4. Place each dipped berry on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Add desired toppings while the chocolate is still wet. Let rest for about 30 minutes until chocolate is set.
  5. Melt more chocolate for the pretzel rods as previously described.
  6. Holding one end of the pretzel rod, dip and roll it in the chocolate until well coated. Add toppings if desired.
  7. Place each dipped pretzel on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan until the chocolate is set.
  8. For brownie truffles, add dates, walnuts, pecans, tahini, salt, cinnamon, and cacao/cocoa powder to a food processor. Blend until a dough forms. If needed, add melted coconut oil.
  9. Roll the dough into bite-sized balls and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  10. Melt the remaining chocolate in a bowl and roll the chilled bites in the melted chocolate. Add desired toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
  11. Transfer the bites to a plate or parchment paper-lined surface to set.
  12. Arrange larger items on the cutting board, followed by medium-sized and small-sized items. Fill gaps with the smallest items and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
