• Wash strawberries in water and vinegar to kill the spores on them so they don’t mold fast. Strawberries must be absolutely dry. Place in refrigerator for half hour prior to dipping them.
• Melt 100 grams of chocolate chips in a microwave dish start with 30 seconds increments.
• I am using a very thick glass container that is microwave safe.
• Heat in 30 seconds increments only; stirring every time you melt (at 82 degrees). Add the dipping aid vegetable oil flakes; you will see the chocolate becomes smooth and shiny.
• Alternatively, you can melt by placing a dish in boiling water indirectly – no direct heat.
• Take the strawberry and dip in the molten chocolate or alternatively you can stick on a toothpick or extra-long skewer tooth pick and coat with chocolate. You can place on parchment paper or stick them upright to dry. Keep in refrigerator for 15 minutes to harden and take them out and decorate as you wish.
• Here I am doing white on dark and dark on white chocolate for contrast.

Decoration:

• In a piping bag, put the molten chocolate, cut the bottom to make a small hole and decorate the chocolate covered strawberries anyway you want. You can put hearts, lines, or any design.
• You can use colored sugar or any other sprinkles or Tajin when the chocolate is still wet and has not dried fully.
