Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Course Dessert

Prep Time 30 minutes minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes minutes

Total Time 40 minutes minutes

Ingredients

• 6-10 ounces dark chocolate at least 72%
• 16-20 ounces starwberries

Instructions

• Rinse strawberries and throughly pat dry. Chocolate will not properly adhere to the strawberry, if they are not completely dry.
• Fill a small pot of water 3/4 full or so. Find a glass bowl that will sit comfortably on top, with about 1" room between the bowl and level of water.
• Heat stovetop to medium low.
• Pour in chocolate and stir continuously until melted completely and there are no lumps in the mixture.
• Lower heat to a simmer to keep the chocolate from hardening.
• Hold stems of strawberries and roll around in the chocolate to cover. You can dip as far as you would like. I like to have some completely covered and some partially, so you can still see a peek of red.
• Once a strawberry is dipped, place on a baking sheet covered in either tin foil or parchment paper. 
• Store in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate. Pull out any time to serve!
