Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries under cool water and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until it’s smooth.

Notes
Choose fresh strawberries for the best flavor and ensure they are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from sliding off.
