Ingredients

1 Pint Fresh Strawberries about 20, washed and dried
8 Ounces Milk chocolate dark chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped

Instructions

Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly with a paper towel. Any moisture can prevent the chocolate coating from sticking.
1 Pint Fresh Strawberries
Place chocolate melts, chocolate wafers, or chopped chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl or heatproof bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler. Fill a medium saucepan with an inch of water, bring to a simmer over low heat, and place a heat-safe glass bowl, metal bowl, or another small bowl on top (without touching the water). Stir the chocolate until melted.
8 Ounces Milk chocolate
Hold each beautiful strawberry by the green leaves and dip it into the smooth melted chocolate, swirling to coat. Let the excess chocolate drip by gently tapping on the side of the bowl or scraping the bottom of the strawberry along the bottom of the bowl.
Place each dipped strawberry on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or a piece of parchment paper. Allow them to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate firm.

Notes

Tips for the Best Results
Dry strawberries completely. Moisture can ruin the final result by making the chocolate seize.
Use the best chocolate you can find. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and semisweet chocolate all work well, but avoid low-quality options with added oils.
Add a little coconut oil or vegetable oil to the chocolate for a shinier, thinner consistency.
Use candy melts or chocolate melts for an easy dipping process if you don’t want to temper chocolate.
Chill berries in the fridge for 10 minutes before dipping for better adhesion.
