Making Homemade Chocolate Strawberries couldn't be easier than 2 ingredients and right know-how. These are no-sweat strawberries!

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone mat.
Wash the strawberries and dry them with a paper towel and then let them further air dry and come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. The chocolate will not cling to wet strawberries.
Fill the bottom pot of a double boiler one third of the way with water and bring to a low simmer.
Place the top pot on and all of the couverture chocolate, reserving roughly 1 tablespoon.
Stir constantly until the chocolate has nearly all melted, then remove from the heat and stir in the remain 1 tablespoon of couverture. Alternately, use the microwave method as described in the notes.
If using alternating white chocolate, do all of your couverture chocolate first and then follow with with repeating the same steps. Unless you have two double boilers and then, I am simply impressed.
Dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate, swirling once and then tapping off excess.
Immediately add sprinkles or other toppings while still tacky.
Place on the prepared baking sheet to set.
For drizzling the desired chocolate and place it in a squeeze bottle or candy melting bag, drizzle.

Microwave the milk chocolate for 30-second intervals at 50% power or 20 seconds if at full power in a microwave-safe bowl.

Take the bowl out and give it a stir. Be careful, as the bowl will likely be hot.

Place the bowl back in the microwave and repeat the process of cooking for 30 seconds at 50% power and stirring.

After the first two intervals, reduce the time in the microwave to only 10 or 15 seconds.

When chocolate is mostly melted with just a few chunks, do not place it back into the microwave, simply keep stirring it until smooth. Use immediately.
