Dipping Strawberries
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Hold each berry by the green crown and dip two-thirds of the fruit into the chocolate.
Setting Chocolate
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray, spacing them apart.
- If desired, melt additional chocolate in a contrasting color for drizzling.
