Recipe Tips
- Prepare Strawberries – Cut the base of each strawberry so they are flat. Make sure to clean and dry before dipping into melted chocolate.
- Melting Chocolate – We melted the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. But you can also melt on stovetop in a double boiler with simmering water. Watch closely so the mixture does not burn and to stirring occasionally. Melt until desired consistency.
