SO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA NEED IS:
Prepare the Strawberries
Wash and thoroughly dry Strawberries.
Optional: if you want to create strawberries without a flat side, stick toothpicks in the center of the stem of the strawberry. Stick the toothpick with the Strawberries in the Styrofoam board to hold for dipping.
Melt Chocolate using one of the following methods:
Method #1 (Microwave): In Microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate (one bowl at a time) at 50% power for 15 seconds. Stir. Continue to microwave at 50% power, checking and stirring every 15-seconds until Chocolate is smooth and melted. Repeat with other bowl.
Method #2 (Double Boiler): Place Chocolate in Heat Resistant Bowl. Bring small Pot with about 1 inch of water (make sure it doesn’t touch the bowl) to a simmer. Place one Mixing Bowl on Small Pot. Stir Chocolate until smooth. Repeat with other Bowl of Chocolate. (Note: Be Careful. Bowl of Chocolate may be hot!)
If decorating with melted chocolate, fill pastry bags with ¼ cup of melted chocolate and snip of the very tip of the bag. (Note: a resealable bag can be used if you don’t have pastry bags.
Decorate the Strawberries
To create chocolate drizzle effect, drizzle chocolate in the pastry bag quickly back and forth over the strawberry. Place back in the Styrofoam board to cool.
You can also dip in Chopped Nuts, Mini Chocolate Chips or sprinkle with Instant Coffee/Espresso.
Let dipped Strawberries cool in refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until the Chocolate has hardened. Remove toothpick and serve.
