Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (about 20–25), stems on
  • 8 ounces chocolate (dark, milk, or semi-sweet baking chocolate)
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles, sea salt
  • Optional for drizzling: white or contrasting chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Wash strawberries and dry them completely. Any moisture will prevent the chocolate from sticking, so take your time here.
  • Microwave method....Chop chocolate and microwave in a heatproof bowl in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
    Double boiler method.....Melt chocolate over gently simmering water, stirring until glossy.
  • Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat about ¾ of the berry. Let excess chocolate drip off.
  • While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with toppings or roll gently in chopped nuts.
  • Place strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm.
  • Melt additional chocolate, transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped, and drizzle over set strawberries.
  • ENJOY!!!
