Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly.


Place the chocolate in double boiler and melt it over a slow flame. I use dark chocolate.


Stir well using a spatula till the chocolate has melted and resembles a sauce.


Remove from the double boiler and continue to stir it for a few minutes till it comes down to room temperature and is still a sauce like consistency.


Dip the base of the strawberries so that the chocolate coats half of each strawberry evenly.


Place them on a tray covered with grease proof paper and refrigerate till required.
