Instructions

Making Chocolate Covered Strawberries at Home

1. Break up the chocolate bar and place it in the glass bowl. Fill the saucepan with about 3 inches of water.

2. Bring the water to a boil. Put the glass bowl over the saucepan and melt the chocolate. Be careful not to let all the water evaporate out of the saucepan.

3. Wash the strawberries and pat them dry with a dish cloth or paper towel. Set out the waxed paper on a clean, dry surface.

4. Dip the strawberries, one at a time, into the chocolate. Roll each one thoroughly so it gets coated in the chocolate.

5. Lay the dipped strawberries on the wax paper. Wait for the chocolate to dry, which should take only a few minutes. Refrigerate until serving, or serve immediately.
