Ingredients

  • 1 pound (about 20) strawberries with stems, washed and dried very well
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Method

  • Rinse, but do not hull the strawberries.
  • Drain and pat completely dry.
  • Put the semisweet chocolate into heatproof medium bowls.
  • Fill medium saucepan with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt.
  • Stir until smooth.
  • Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper.
  • *Cook's Note: Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a glass dish in the microwave on high power for 60 seconds.
  • Remove, stir and microwave for 10 seconds more until the chocolate has melted.
  • Allow the chocolate to cool slightly to thicken
  • Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the bottom half of each strawberry in the melted chocolate.
  • Twist the strawberry so that the chocolate forms a "tail" at the end.
  • Set strawberries on the parchment paper.
  • Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
