  • Strawberries 1 pound (450g)

1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's gather all the necessary ingredients. You'll need: fresh strawberries (about 1 pound or 450g), high-quality chocolate (dark, milk, or white - your choice!), and any desired toppings like sprinkles or chopped nuts.

2

Prepare Your Workspace

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let's prepare our workspace. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent the strawberries from sticking.

3

Melt the Chocolate

Break the chocolate bars into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until it is completely melted and smooth. Be patient and avoid the temptation to zap it for too long!

4

Dip 'Em!

Hold a strawberry by the stem, and dip it into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it fully. Give it a little twist as you lift it out to let any excess chocolate drip off. Place the dipped strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until all strawberries are dipped.

5

Get Creative

This is your chance to add some pizzazz! While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your desired toppings onto the strawberries. Get colorful with some rainbow sprinkles or keep it classy with a dusting of powdered sugar. The choice is yours!

6

Chill and Enjoy!

Place the baking sheet with the chocolate-covered strawberries in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set. Once chilled, they're ready to be devoured! Serve them as a tasty treat or share them with friends and loved ones.
