How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Ingredients:

- 1 pound strawberries

- 1/2 cup chocolate chips

- 1/4 cup heavy cream

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Wash the strawberries and pat dry. Remove the stems.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

3. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Dip each strawberry into the chocolate, using a fork to help coat it evenly.

5. Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

- To make the chocolate coating more glossy, you can add a little bit of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate.

- If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler.

- You can decorate the chocolate-covered strawberries with sprinkles, nuts, or other toppings.

- Chocolate covered strawberries are best eaten within 24 hours.
