Chocolate covered strawberries are an incredibly easy dessert to make. In just a few short steps they will be finished and ready to eat.

Take all of the chocolate and break it up into smaller pieces, place in a heatproof bowl. Fill a saucepan with a few centimeters of water on medium heat, and place the heatproof bowl on top of the saucepan. (Note: make sure the boiling water doesn’t touch the bowl.) Remove saucepan and bowl from heat once water starts to simmer, and stir chocolate until melted.

Once all the chocolate has melted, take one strawberry at a time by the stem and dip it into the bowl of chocolate. Twist the strawberry to get any excess chocolate off of the strawberry and back into the bowl. Place strawberry on a plate or baking sheet lined with wax paper. Let the strawberries sit until the chocolate has dried (about 20-30 minutes), or you can refrigerate to speed up the process.

The great thing about this is that you have a variety of options. You can easily switch ingredients in the recipe if, for example, you prefer dark chocolate or white chocolate.
