Instructions for how to prepare Chocolate covered Strawberries:
- Firstly, take strawberries in a bowl.
- Gently swish them in a bowl of room temperature water. Drain the strawberries and gently wash them with running water.
- Then spread the strawberries on a dry kitchen towel and dry each one individually with dry paper towel. Let them air dry at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- The easiest way to melt the chocolate is to place the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 20 second intervals, about 3-4 times,stirring after each interval, until melted.
- Melted chocolate is ready and then add 1/4 tsp of oil in each chocolate bowl. Mix it well.
- Dip the prepped strawberries into the white chocolate, then gently scrape the excess chocolate off the bottom.
- To decorate the chocolate dipped strawberries, I cut the tiniest bit of corner off a plastic sandwich bag, and use that as a mini piping bag to drizzle a contrasting type of chocolate.
- You could also simply drizzle the chocolate by dipping the tines of a fork into the melted chocolate and flicking it back and forth with your wrist, but the bag gives a much cleaner look, and is hardly more work. You can use sprinkles also to decorate it.
- Let the strawberries set at room temperature. Do not put them in the fridge. It will harden at room temperature, usually in an hour.
- Enjoy the strawberries the same day that you make them. They are never as good the next day, though they’ll still be edible one day later.

Tips:
- It is SO important to dry the strawberries thoroughly, otherwise it can cause the chocolate to seize up into a grainy mess.
- Be very careful not to overheat the chocolate.
- If you don’t want to use the microwave: Set up a double boiler (a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with an inch of simmering water). Once the water is simmering, add the chocolate chips to the bowl, turn off the heat, and let the residual steam melt the chocolate.
- Adding oil makes the strawberries easier to dip, gives the chocolate a shiny appearance, and gives the end result a softer, “bite-able” texture.
