How to Make Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Step 1:
Start by washing the strawberries and gently pat them dry. Make sure they are very dry, so the chocolate will set properly.
Step 2:
Melt your chocolate chips using the double boiler method or microwave. If you are going to use the microwave, melt on a 30-second burst at half power, stirring in between.
Step 3:
Once the chocolate has melted, dip each strawberry, then place it on parchment paper. Let the chocolate set for a few minutes.
Step 4:
Fill a piping bag with a contrasting color of chocolate, then snip the tip off. Create stripes by piping the chocolate over the dipped part of the strawberry. Repeat with the remaining strawberries. You can serve them immediately or place them in the fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy!
