Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

Wash and carefully pat dry your strawberries.

Melt your batches of chocolate in a double boiler by placing each chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and setting it over a small pot with an inch or two of simmering water. You can also use a microwave to melt the chocolate. Heat it at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.

Dip each strawberry in chocolate. Place each strawberry on parchment paper to set. If you want to add any toppings, sprinkle them while the chocolate is still wet.

For added decoration, add a contrasting color of chocolate to a piping bag, snip off the tip, and pipe over the dipped part of the strawberry to create stripes.

Set aside to let the chocolate harden, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up quickly.
