- Heat water: fill a small pan with around 1 inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer
- Melt chocolate: place the chocolate in a heat proof bowl and sit it over the simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water
- Stir: gradually melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth, then remove from the heat

- Tip: place the dipped strawberries on baking parchment to set
