Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries about 24, with stems
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 4 ounces white chocolate for drizzling, optional
Instructions
- Wash your strawberries well and dry them completely. It's essential that the strawberries are thoroughly dry as water can make the chocolate seize.
- Break the semi-sweet chocolate into pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat this process until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it in the melted chocolate, turning to coat all sides. Lift and gently shake to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the dipped strawberry onto a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper.
- If you're adding decorations, sprinkle them on while the chocolate is still wet.
- Continue with the remaining strawberries and chocolate. Once all strawberries are dipped, let them rest so the chocolate can set. If you're in a hurry, you can speed this up by placing the strawberries in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- If you want to drizzle white chocolate over the strawberries for a gourmet touch, repeat the melting process with white chocolate. Use a fork or a piping bag with a small hole to drizzle it over the strawberries in a zigzag pattern. Let it set before serving.

Notes
- Choose Ripe Strawberries: Select strawberries that are ripe and firm for the best taste and texture.
- Dry Thoroughly: Make sure to dry the strawberries completely after washing to ensure the chocolate sticks well.
- Melting Chocolate Tips: Melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Setting Options: Let the chocolate set at room temperature for a glossy finish, or chill in the fridge if you're short on time.
- Storage Advice: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and enjoy within 2 days for the best quality.
