Very easy DG. You'll find the dipping chocolate (pictured) in the baking aisle at the grocery store.

Rinse and pat the strawberries dry. Sit them on a paper towel or dish towel and let air dry for about another 15-20 minutes. They need to be VERY DRY before dipping, or the chocolate will clump up on you.

Now heat up the chocolate according to package directions. That's basically 30 seconds, stir, 30 seconds, stir, 30 seconds, stir....until it's creamy. How many times you actually do that depends on the wattage of your microwave.

Grasping the strawberry by the stem/leaves, dip it in the chocolate and twirl it around in there to get good coverage. Lay them on a wax paper lined cookie sheet, then refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to let the chocolate set up.
