Tips on how to make chocolate covered strawberry:-
(1) Whilst shopping for strawberries, choose the freshest large strawberries you can find. Check to ensure they are ripe and not mouldy.

The darker the chocolate, the more bitter it will be. Some premium chocolates you can choose from are ghirardelli chocolate chips or valrhona chocolate.

o Microwaving is the easiest. However, you will need to experiment with your microwave and some chocolate in order to find the right time required to melt the chocolate so that you get a smooth consistency.
