Follow these steps to make your Vanilla Dipped Strawberries:

1. Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry for the best coating.

2. Melt the Vanilla Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips or vanilla candy melts and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

3. Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the green stem and dip it into the melted vanilla coating, allowing any excess to drip off.

4. Add Toppings: Before the coating sets, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the dipped strawberries for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

5. Set on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the dipped strawberries in a single layer on the sheet.

6. Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the strawberries cool for at least 30 minutes. This will help the coating to harden properly.

7. Serve: Once set, your Vanilla Dipped Strawberries are ready to be served!
