Spoil your Valentine with these delectable Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Ingredients
227g semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
450g large strawberries (about 20), washed and dried well
1/3 cup finely chopped pistachios (optional)
Directions
Place chocolate in a bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmer water. Stir occasionally, until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. One at a time, dip each strawberry in chocolate, twirling to coat; then sprinkle chocolate covered portion with pistachios, if using, and place on waxed paper.
Chill chocolate-dipped strawberries at least 15 minutes to set chocolate. (Strawberries should not be stored in refrigerator longer than 1 hour as condensation may collect on the chocolate).
