500g fresh organic strawberries (stems on), washed

Optional:  50g organic milk or white chocolate, melted

Method

1. Add dark chocolate to a heat-proof bowl over simmering water, stirring until chocolate is smooth and melted.
2. Holding strawberries by their stem, dip each one in the melted chocolate (about ¾ of the berry) then lightly place on a baking paper-lined wire rack, stem side down. Place on a wire rack in the refrigerator until chocolate is hardened.
