Notes
- Strawberries shouldn’t be washed far in advance. Washing them just before you use them guarantees maximum freshness and minimal bruising.
- The toothpick should be inserted at least halfway into the strawberry to ensure stability when dipping.
- You can reduce/increase the quantities to suit your requirement.
- Approximately 500 grams of strawberries will require 350 grams of chocolate. This gives a good quantity of chocolate to work with and ensures that strawberries look good, and you are not scraping the bottom of the bowl. The exact amount of white, milk and dark chocolate you'll need depends on what designs you want to make and any extra leftover chocolate can be saved for another recipe.
- If the chocolate starts to become thick, place the bowl back into the microwave for a few seconds and stir until soft again.
