- 8 ounces dark or milk chocolate chips
- 2 ounces white chocolate (optional)
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter (to smooth the chocolate)
- Wax paper or a tray
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries and pat them dry with a towel. Let them stand to ensure no water remains.
- Put chocolate chips and oil in a small bowl.
