Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries~

I love everything about chocolate-covered strawberries. I love the crunchy, melting- your-mouth shell and the cool, sweet strawberry beneath. I love giving them as  presents, and I love receiving them equally as much. And I especially love how  easy they are to make at home — it's an afternoon project with a result that looks fancy no matter your candy-making skills (or lack thereof)! 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of fresh strawberries, 
• 2 cups of dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, 
• 1/2 cup of white chocolate, optional for drizzling. 

Equipment:

• double-boiler or heatproof bowl and saucepan, 
• heat proof spatula, 
• parchment, wax paper, or silpat, 
• baking sheet, 
• small plastic bag. 

Instructions:

1. At first wash strawberries, drain out the water and dried up them properly before  dipping. 
2. Then pour the chocolate on the bottom of the double-boiler or pour the chocolate  on a heatproof bowl and set this over the simmering water. Stir it occasionally until  it is properly melt and remove the bowl from heat. 
3. Then place the baking sheet with the parchment and grasp the strawberry by the  top leaves and dip it into the chocolate and put into the baking sheet. Repeat with  dipping the remaining strawberries and keep the strawberry sheet in the fridge for  some time to set the chocolate. 
4. Then melt the white chocolate at the same way and remove it from the bowl to  small zip lock bag. Push the melted white chocolate to one corner of the bag and  drizzle to strawberries with white chocolate and keep the baking sheet in the fridge  again for some time to set the white chocolate.  
5. Lastly serve the cool chocolate-dipped strawberries and enjoy.
