Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 | How to Wash Strawberries

Place the strawberries in a collander and wash them thoroughly.
Dry the strawberries with a paper towel.
Allow the strawberries to dry completely before attempting to dip them in the melted chocolate.

Step 2 | How to Melt Chocolate

Place the candy melting chips in a microwave-safe bowl and then place the bowl in the microwave using the low setting. Heat for 30 seconds interval at a time.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the chocolate. One of the biggest mistakes people make with using the microwave is, they forget to stir the chocolate after each interval. Chocolate pieces can retain their shape until you stir them.
If you don't stir, you risk burning the chocolate.
Return the chocolate back to the microwave and repeat with another 10 to 15 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted.
In just a few minutes you'll have perfectly beautiful melted chocolate for dipping.

Step 2 | How to Dip Strawberries in Melted Chocolate

Dip the strawberries in the melted white chocolate but only halfway.

Storage Tips

Refrigerate the strawberries until you are ready to serve.
Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator as well.

Top Recipe Tip

Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping them in the melted chocolate. If any water gets in the melted chocolate, it will "seize" and you won't be able to use it at all.
