Instructions:
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly under running water.
- Remove the green stems and slice the strawberries into small pieces.

- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

- Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid. For best results, you may want to freeze them overnight.
- If you would like to coat the fruity pops with chocolate, melt your choice of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
- You can also melt the chocolate using a double boiler if preferred.
- Once the popsicles are fully frozen, remove them from the molds by briefly running warm water over the outside of the molds.
- Dip each popsicle into the melted chocolate, shaking off any excess.
- Place the chocolate-coated popsicles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- After dipping all the popsicles, place the baking sheet in the freezer to allow the chocolate to harden. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the chocolate is fully set, your chocolate-coated fruity pops are ready to enjoy. Serve immediately or store them in the freezer in an airtight container for later.
