Ingredients
1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and dried
1 cup dark chocolate melting chips
1⁄4 cup nuts, chopped, optional
Instructions
Step 1
Melt the chocolate chips. Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate at 30-second intervals in the microwave, taking breaks to stir until melted and smooth.
Step 2
Dip each strawberry into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the wet chocolate before it hardens.
Step 3
Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a parchment-lined tray.
Step 4
Allow the chocolate to set by placing the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5
Optional: if any chocolate is left over, pour over a cluster of nuts for a chocolate bark treat.
