I know this dessert looks like something only a restaurant can pull off, but it's very easy. I've made thousands of these berries! Follow the directions and you can too.
1 pound semi-sweet chocolate chips (use quality chocolate)
2 pints fresh strawberries, washed and dried
Slowly melt chocolate in a bowl over a double boiler, stirring frequently. (If you don't have a double boiler, improvise and put a metal bowl on top of a pot of simmering water.) Do not overheat the chocolate or it will scorch.
Once chocolate has melted sufficiently, remove from heat and stir until smooth and glossy. (NOTE: if chocolate gets too thick during the dipping process, you can reheat to restore it.)
Rinse strawberries and dry carefully with a paper towel (chocolate will not adhere if the berry is wet). Hold the strawberries by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate one at a time.
Place dipped strawberries on waxed paper. Let chocolate harden at room temperature and then refrigerate. Enjoy!
