A delightful treat of strawberries dipped in rich chocolate, perfect for any occasion.
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Ensuring the strawberries are dry helps the chocolate adhere properly.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
Avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
Insert a toothpick into the stem end of each strawberry and dip it into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion of the red berry visible.
Twist the strawberry gently while dipping to ensure an even coating.
Place the dipped strawberries on wax paper to set. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each for added flavor.
Adding sea salt enhances the sweetness of the chocolate.
Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the toothpicks and serve the strawberries at room temperature.
Serve within 24 hours for the best taste and texture.
