Jimmy’s Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

“When it’s Date Night at Jimmy’s place, our smooth salesman pulls out all the moves… and it starts with some strawbs that fell off the back of the truck.”

Ingredients

  • 500g strawberries 
  • 200g cooking chocolate – good quality such as Cadbury’s 
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil 

Method

Three ingredients, no baking, about 15 minutes. Makes about 25. 

  1. Wash and fully dry the strawberries. Line a tray with baking paper. 
  2. Microwave the chocolate and oil in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth. 
  3. Hold each strawberry by its leaves, dip it in the chocolate and place it on the tray. 
  4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until set. 

 

Jimmy’s Tip: Make sure the strawberries are completely dry, or the chocolate won’t stick. For extra crunch, roll them in coconut or crushed nuts before chilling. Best eaten on the day you make them, then work your magic.
