Expert Tips

Melt chocolate in intervals. I like to set the microwave on high for one minute, take out the chocolate and stir. If needed, I microwave for 30 seconds more and stir until smooth. I do not go beyond that because the chocolate will start to seize and have a reverse affect. It will harden.

Use fresh chocolate. Chocolate can age and it won’t melt properly.

Buy extra strawberries. You’ll need to buy extra strawberries than you think you’ll need to find the perfect ones.
