Wash your produce and make sure your berries are completely dry before you proceed to the next step. # ![michellectv_chocstraw1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPWjHB53eAr9cdnN1yZQEFCusSYEBfivd13KTcDLvGETN/michellectv_chocstraw1.png) # You'll need three ounces of semisweet & white chocolate per pound of strawberries.

Tempering chocolate can be tricky. So, if presentation is of the upmost importance, I suggest using compound chocolate melting wafers.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for microwave or stove top heating methods.

Or, decorate with even more melted chocolate! 😋

Place coated strawberries on waxed paper. Cool in the refrigerator for 10 - 15 minutes, or until hard.
