Prepare the strawberries

• Rinse the strawberries and pat them completely dry with a cloth or paper towel
• Leave the stems on so they are easy to hold

Melt the chocolate

• Chop the chocolate and place it in a bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water
• Stir until fully melted and smooth, then remove from the heat

Dip the strawberries

• Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, turning to coat
• Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl

Chill and serve

• Place the dipped strawberries on a tray lined with baking paper
• Chill until the chocolate has set firm
