Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Dipping strawberries is simple but I may have a few tips to improve your product.  First, DO NOT wash your strawberries.  They are 90% water and more water  just tends to damage them.  Lightly blot them with a damp paper towel just before dipping.  Make sure your dipping chocolate is lower than body temperature so the warmth will not  cook the strawberries.  And with the leftover chocolate, add toasted nuts, pretzels, chow mien noodles, toasted coconut or whatever!  For more information on melting chocolate and dipping, go to Sarah's Simple Solutions.
