Ingredients

16 oz Fresh Strawberries 16 oz package
10 oz Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers 10 oz Bag
5 oz Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers
2 oz White Chocolate Melting Wafers or ¼ Cup

Instructions

Start by rinsing your strawberries under cold water, making sure there's no dirt stuck to them or the green leaves.
Line the strawberries out on paper towels and use another paper towel to pat the strawberries and the green tops completely dry.
Remove any strawberries that may be moldy or ones that are so ripe they're no longer firm but squishy.
Line a cookie sheet or baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
Melt one 10 oz bag of dark chocolate wafers with 5 oz (half a 10 oz bag) milk chocolate wafers, stirring as they melt. SEE NOTE
Once the chocolate is melted, hold a strawberry firmly by the leaves and dip it in the melted chocolate mixture to coat nearly to the green leaves.
Let the excess chocolate drip back into the melting pot.
Line the chocolate-dipped strawberries in a single layer on the wax paper-lined sheet pan to set up.
Melt the white chocolate in a small microwavable container.
Spoon the melted white chocolate into a piping bag.
Snip the end off just a little.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the strawberries.
Allow the chocolate to fully set up solid at room temperature before serving.
Store in the fridge in a loosely covered container instead of an airtight container to avoid too much moisture being trapped in the container.

Notes

It's very, very, very important for the strawberries to be 100% dry before dipping them in the melted chocolate. If there are wet spots on the strawberries, the chocolate won't stick to the berries.
If using chocolate chips, 10z is 1+½ Cup dark chocolate chips. 5 oz is ¾ cup milk chocolate chips.
My favorite way to melt chocolate is in a chocolate melting pot.
