1-Getting ready for chocolate covered strawberries starts with simple prep work that anyone can handle. First, wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries to ensure the chocolate adheres well moisture is the enemy here. Once that’s done, line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to keep things neat.

2-Now, melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth. Hold each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, and twist to let excess drip off for an even coat. Optionally, dip the chocolate-coated strawberries into toppings immediately, then place them on the lined baking sheet and drizzle with melted white chocolate for decoration if you like. Chill the strawberries for approximately 15 minutes until the chocolate sets, and you’re all set for a tasty treat.
