Re: chocolate covered strawberries
I use chocolate chips (like the ones for cookies), heat them in the microwave for 20 seconds (longer if they are not room temp) stir stir really fast and then dip. Easy, no need for a boiler shoiler.
Make sure to wash your strawberries and gently pat dry with a paper towel, if the strawberries are wet it will create a mess and the chocolate will not stick.
After you are done dipping, store in the fridge for about 15mins. That's that.
