Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

Steps

1. 1Prep. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, top with a wire rack and set aside. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper to use for cooling the dipped strawberries. If using any optional toppings, place those onto individual small plates.
2. 2Wash and Dry Strawberries. Wash strawberries and then pat dry with paper towels and arrange on the wire rack to completely air dry to make sure chocolate adheres perfectly.
3. 3Melt Chocolate. Add chocolate to medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Repeat until the chocolate is all melted and smooth. Repeat with additional types of chocolate if making different types - white, dark chocolate, milk, etc.
4. 4Dip Strawberries. Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate. Lift the strawberry out of the chocolate and slightly twist to allow any additional chocolate to run off back into the bowl of chocolate. If you are adding any optional toppings, dip the chocolate covered strawberry into the topping and then place onto the parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and for the chocolate to harden.
5. 5Serve or store. Serve once the chocolate has hardened or store in the refrigerator. Best enjoyed within 48 hours.
