- Refrigerate the berries for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This will give them time to set.
- You can also use dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate for the strawberries.
- The strawberries should be room temperature before dipping into chocolate.

- Use high quality chocolate for best results. The taste will be noticeable.
- Don’t overcook the chocolate or it will be too hot and cook the strawberries. It should be melted but not excessively hot.
