The key to making perfect chocolate covered strawberries is using high quality ingredients. Fresh strawberries should be used, as they will be the star of the show.

Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 1 pound of high quality chocolate (dark, milk, or white chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the strawberries. Make sure they are completely dry before coating with chocolate, as any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize.
2. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, melt in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted. If the chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to help thin it out.
3. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it completely. Place the chocolate covered strawberry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Let the chocolate set at room temperature. You can also place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
5. Enjoy your delicious chocolate covered strawberries!
