Ingredients
- 8 strawberries

Instructions
- Before starting, make sure that each berry is washed well and completely dry.
- Pour ½ c chocolate chips into a small microwave safe mixing bowl. Place in microwave and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir with a spoon. Return to microwave and cook in 20 second increments and stir until chocolate is shiny and smooth. It should take about 60-90 seconds.

Notes
- Make sure your strawberries are completely dry before dipping them. Chocolate will stick better to dry berries, also it's easier to use room temperature berries too.
- I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, use your favorite type of chocolate
- If chocolate starts to not stick to your berries and they're dry, reheat the chocolate for 10 or so seconds. It doesn't stick as well after it hardens. But just do this once or your chocolate will get chalky.
- Strawberries will continue to ripen and chocolate may discolor if left in fridge for more than a day or 2.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled + to make a big batch.
