CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
This is the simplest version of chocolate covered strawberries I know. Paraffin was originally used instead of shortening. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert by the toothpicks into a piece of styrofoam for easy cooling, or simply place them on a sheet of wax paper. White chocolate may be drizzled over the milk chocolate for a fancier look. They are perfect for weddings when decorated with frosting bow ties, bells, butterflies, roses, etc.

Steps:
- Put the semisweet and white chocolates into 2 separate heatproof medium bowls. Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)
- Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.
- Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Cut a strip of baking parchment and leave to one side. To melt the dark chocolate, fill a small pan with 2cm water and bring to a simmer. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and rest it on top of the pan, ensuring the bowl isn't touching the water. Stir the chocolate to gradually melt it. Or, melt the chocolate in 20 second blasts in the microwave, stirring after each blast until melted. Put the melted chocolate in a small deep bowl.
- Gently hold the strawberries by the leafy top and dip into the chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate and put on the parchment to set. If you have any leftover chocolate, pour it onto another strip of parchment and leave it to set, it can be used again.
- If you'd like to decorate the strawberries, melt the white and milk chocolate and drizzle lightly over the fruit.

Tips:
- Select ripe and fresh strawberries: Choose strawberries that are plump, brightly colored, and have no bruises or blemishes. Avoid berries that are soft or have brown spots.
- Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly: Rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a clean paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry before dipping them in chocolate, as any excess moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.
- Use high-quality chocolate: Opt for good-quality melting chocolate or couverture chocolate for a smooth and rich coating. You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate, depending on your preference.
- Temper the chocolate properly: Tempering chocolate is a crucial step that helps stabilize the chocolate, giving it a glossy finish and preventing it from becoming dull or grainy. Follow the instructions provided in the recipe for the tempering process.
- Dip the strawberries in chocolate carefully: Hold the strawberries by the stem and dip them into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the strawberries on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the strawberries: Place the chocolate-covered strawberries in the refrigerator or freezer to chill until the chocolate has set completely. This will help the chocolate harden and prevent it from melting.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-covered strawberries are a delightful and elegant treat that can be enjoyed on various occasions. By following the tips and instructions provided in the recipe, you can create these delicious treats at home. Experiment with different chocolate varieties and toppings to customize them to your liking.
