Ingredients
- One 10-ounce package Ghirardelli baking chips – choose from bittersweet, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate
- Two pounds of fresh strawberries, with stems attached
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Start with 1 pound of strawberries. Rinse under cold water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Any moisture can ruin the chocolate coating.
- Set Up Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and have toothpicks ready for dipping control.
- Melt the Chocolate: Use a double boiler, stirring ½ pound of chocolate until glossy. Alternatively, microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between.
- Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem or skewer, dip in chocolate, ensure complete coverage, and let excess drip for a smooth finish.
- Customize: Before it sets, roll in chopped nuts or drizzle with white chocolate for flair.
- Set the Chocolate: Place strawberries on the lined sheet to cool. Refrigerate for quick hardening.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once firm, indulge in the delightful contrast of crunchy chocolate and juicy fruit.
