  5. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating about 2/3 of the strawberry.
  6. Place chocolate-dipped strawberries on parchment paper and let the chocolate set (you can refrigerate to speed this up).

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips. You can also add a sprinkle of sea salt on the chocolate-dipped strawberries for a sweet and salty treat.
