How to make a chocolate dipped strawberry

This really is as simple as dipping the strawberries into the chocolate.

1. Holding the strawberry by the green calyx dip into the melted chocolate up to the level you desire.

2. As you remove the strawberry give it a little shake to help reduce the thickness of the chocolate coating.

3. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

4. If you plan to dip the strawberry into chopped nuts or sprinkles etc then carefully do this now.

5. Transfer the finished strawberry to a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper, wax paper or foil.

6. Leave the strawberries to set at a cool room temperature.

7. Once set they can be further dipped or decorated.

8. For presentation display each chocolate covered strawberry in a slightly flattened paper case. Bamboo skewers are also a fun way to serve them. This gives your guests an easy way to hold the strawberries.
