This Valentine’s Day, I wanted to make an easy but also impressive-looking vegan treat. I came up with Chocolate-Covered Strawberries with Rooted Living Granola Crust for my partner -- they were a hit!
The crunch, the sweetness, it's so simple but so good. Now, this is a go-to snack for any celebration (or midnight treat!). The secret ingredient is: Rooted Living Peanut Butter Granola. Not only is it an amazing zero-waste snack on its own, but in this recipe it adds the best crunch that takes these treats to the next level.
This recipe is not just for your Valentine -- it's also a fun treat to make as a Galentine’s Day recipe because it’s simple, fast, and completely customizable. You can switch the chocolate to whatever you’re craving, play around with different granola flavors, or even swap out the fruit.
Here are some pairings I’ve been loving:
- Frozen blueberries dipped in plant-based white chocolate and tossed in our Blueberry Lemon Granola —sweet, tangy, and so good.
- Sliced frozen bananas dipped in dark chocolate and nut butter (hazelnut butter would be amazing), then coated in our Sunbutter Granola for the ultimate creamy, crunchy treat.
This is one of those recipes that looks impressive but takes almost no effort. Perfect for last-minute plans, movie nights, or just when you need something sweet but don’t want to deal with baking. Once you try it, trust me, it’ll become a go-to!

Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Melt in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.

Prepare a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. Place the crushed Rooted Living Peanut Butter Granola in a separate shallow dish.
Step 3
Hold each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, and let any excess drip off. Immediately roll the chocolate-dipped strawberry in the crushed granola, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
