- Prepare your workspace by lining a large baking sheet with paper towels.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry; let them reach room temperature.
- Melt 8 ounces of chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20-30 seconds until smooth. The ideal temperature for dipping should be around 89-90°F.
