Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb strawberry
  • 2 cups dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate
  • ¼ cup white chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Wash strawberries. Make sure that the strawberries are very dry before dipping them into chocolate. Use a kitchen towel or paper towels to help absorb the excess moisture.
  • Line a baking tray with wax paper.
  • Put dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Place bowl on top of the pot (creating a double boiler). Stir until chocolate becomes nice and smooth. IMPORTANT: Do not get water into the chocolate. Getting water into your chocolate can cause seizing of the chocolate. See notes above. ALTERNATIVELY: Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds, adding more time if needed or until completely melted.
  • Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, remove it from the heat.
  • Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the strawberry into the chocolate, lift the strawberry, and twist slightly. This allows any excess chocolate to fall off the strawberry. Place chocolate-covered strawberry on the wax paper. Repeat until all strawberries are covered.
  • Place finished strawberries in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, begin preparing white chocolate drizzle. You can use the above technique of double boiler or microwaving the chocolate. (I prefer microwaving the white chocolate because it’s a smaller amount of chocolate). When the white chocolate is nice and smooth, dip the fork into white chocolate and drizzle over the chocolate-dipped strawberries.
  • Set strawberries aside or place them in the refrigerator to allow the white chocolate to harden.
  • Strawberries are ready to be served once the chocolate is fully cooled.
