Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb strawberries large, with stems attached
  • 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil

Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

  1. Wash the strawberries, keeping the stems attached, and pat them thoroughly dry.
  2. Let the strawberries air-dry until completely dry, about 30 minutes.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
  5. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until mostly melted; continue in 15-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  6. Holding each strawberry by its stem, dip it into the chocolate and turn to coat, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
  7. Place the dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Refrigerate the strawberries for 15 to 20 minutes, until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping so the chocolate coats smoothly. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free semisweet chocolate chips.
