Valentines Dinner Recipes:Chocolate Covered Strawberries

How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Melt the chocolate as directed above. You can also melt it in a microwave using a glass bowl or glass Pyrex measuring cup.
Very carefully, dip the strawberry in the melted chocolate, lift the dipped strawberry out, and with a twist of the wrist, let the excess chocolate drip off. Place the chocolate covered strawberry on the parchment sheet. Repeat until all the strawberries are done. Refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes to harden the chocolate. You can serve them now, or try dipping them into contrasting colored chocolate, letting them dry between coats.
Chocolate covered strawberries can also be rolled in finely chopped nuts or toasted coconut while the chocolate is still wet.
Serve in paper liners like muffin papers, or specially designed candy wrappers.
Best eaten the same day. Refrigerate any leftovers.
