Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (approx. 12 medium-sized)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries; moisture will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in short bursts of 30 seconds, stirring until smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by its green stem and dip into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles onto the wet chocolate before it sets.
- Place dipped strawberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
