Welcome to Gaia! ::

You will need:

450g (1 lb) small strawberries with their stems left on, or other kinds of fruit, such as satsuma segments
75g (3oz) milk chocolate drops
75g (3oz) white chocolate drops
Baking Parchment

1. If you are using strawberries, wash them in a sieve under cold running water. Then, pat them with a paper towel.

2. Leave them on a plate to dry. Fill a large pan a quarter full of water. Heat it until the watter bubbles. Remove it from the heat.

3. Put the milk chocolate drops into the heatproof bowl. Wearing oven gloves, carefully put the bowl into the pan.

4. Use a wooden spoon to stir the chocolate until it has melted. Wearing oven gloves, lift the bowl out of the water.

5. Melt the white chocolate drops in the same way. Leave both bowls of chocolate to cool for two minutes.

6. Dip a piece of fruit into one of the bowls of chocolate. The chocolate should come about halfway up the fruit.

7. Lift the fruit out and let the chocolate drip off it, over the bowl. Put the fruit on a piece of baking parchment on a plate.

8. Dip the other pieces of fruit into the bowls of chocolate. Then, put them in a fridge for about 20 minutes.

9. When the chocolate has hardened, carefully peel the fruit of the baking parchment, and spread it out on a plate.

The chocolate-dipped fruit needs to be eaten on the day you make it.

(You can either have all the fruit dipped in milk or white chocolate or alternate between the two!)

i love chocolate dipped strawberries.

a easy decorative thing you can also do with this is to once you have finished get a zip lock bag and fill it 1/3 full with chocolate of the other color, if you dipped milk chocolate then fill with white chocolate, then cut a small tip off the corner, enough to squeeze a constant but little bite out, then you can draw, or squeeze a little on the bag and move back and forth at a medium speed over the coco dipped fruit, looks really pretty. also you can use a tooth pick to make designs on it if you like.

I'm sorry i got carried away. lol
