16 oz. white, dark, or semi-sweet chocolate morsels or solid chocolate chopped into small pieces*

- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water. Stir constantly to prevent scorching. Dip the strawberries at least halfway into the chocolate and place them on wax paper.
- Refrigerate the strawberries to allow the chocolate to set (at least 10 minutes). Eat them the same day you make them. (For a super-stylish presentation, arrange the strawberries on a beautiful serving dish, or in a small, shallow gift box lined with tissue paper.)
