4 oz semisweet chocolate
1 Tbsp cooking oil

Steps:

  • 1. Spread strawberries on a working surface with wax-paper-covered tray nearby.

  • 3. You will also need one or two bamboo skewers or other picks.
  • 4. In the top of a double boiler over hot water, melt the chocolate with the cooking oil, stirring to mix thoroughly.
  • 5. (The cooking oil will add a beautiful shine to the completed sweet.)
  • 6. Place melted chocolate near working surface, but keep chocolate warm.

  • 8. Lift out and shake any excess chocolate back into the pot.
  • 9. Place the strawberry on the wax paper and continue with the remaining berries.
