CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
This is the simplest version of chocolate covered strawberries I know. Paraffin was originally used instead of shortening. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert by the toothpicks into a piece of styrofoam for easy cooling, or simply place them on a sheet of wax paper. White chocolate may be drizzled over the milk chocolate for a fancier look. They are perfect for weddings when decorated with frosting bow ties, bells, butterflies, roses, etc.

Steps:
- Put the semisweet and white chocolates into 2 separate heatproof medium bowls. Fill 2 medium saucepans 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. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)
- Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.
- Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Cut a strip of baking parchment and leave to one side. To melt the dark chocolate, fill a small pan with 2cm water and bring to a simmer. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and rest it on top of the pan, ensuring the bowl isn't touching the water. Stir the chocolate to gradually melt it. Or, melt the chocolate in 20 second blasts in the microwave, stirring after each blast until melted. Put the melted chocolate in a small deep bowl.
- Gently hold the strawberries by the leafy top and dip into the chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate and put on the parchment to set. If you have any leftover chocolate, pour it onto another strip of parchment and leave it to set, it can be used again.

Tips
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry before dipping them in chocolate.
- To make the chocolate coating, use a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. You can also use white chocolate or milk chocolate, but these coatings will be sweeter.
- If you want a thinner chocolate coating, you can add a little bit of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate.
- To make the chocolate coating set more quickly, you can place the dipped strawberries in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes.
- You can decorate the dipped strawberries with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other toppings of your choice.
- To store the chocolate-covered strawberries, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 3 days.
Conclusion
Chocolate-covered strawberries are a delicious and elegant treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create beautiful and unique chocolate-covered strawberries that will impress your friends and family.
