Step 7Thoughts
Provided you prep your strawberries and chocolate beforehand you can get done with the major work in two hours. After and hour or so in the refrigerator you are ready to serve. Left overnight, the strawberries I think taste a little sweeter. Strawberries will keep for three days definitely, but a week is pushing it.
Ideally, you would want to find the best possible strawberries at the store, but due to "last minute" nature of this recipe, you may have to go with what you can get. Don't worry though, those mutant looking ones are perfectly fine.
Normally the decorative chocolate is smoother than it looks in the closeup pictures. This is due to the fact that the Lindt chocolate bar I used to flavor the chocolate contained pieces of coconut in it, making for a chunky consistency.
Sometimes the dipping chocolate turns out really well and I end up saving the remainder in small containers.
If left long enough in the boiler, all chocolate will eventually start going bad. This effect is evidenced by a grainy/sandy looking coat on the strawberries. If this happens, a) hurry up or b) add more chocolate and tun down the temperature of the burner a bit.
Disposing of the leftover chocolate is an involved process. I worry about clogging up the sink so I scrape as much as i can into the trash, then use a dish soap and brush to take care of the remainder.
I hope your effort turns out well!
