# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ten minutes from fridge to finished, no baking or fancy equipment required.
  • Looks like you ordered them from a boutique chocolatier but costs a fraction of the price.
  • Endlessly adaptable with toppings, drizzles, or different chocolate types to suit any occasion.
02 -
  • Even a hint of moisture on the strawberries will cause the chocolate to clump and refuse to coat smoothly, so be relentless with drying.
  • If your chocolate seizes into a thick paste, whisk in a half teaspoon of coconut oil at a time until it loosens back into a glossy pool.
  • Wooden skewers can splinter if you push too hard through firm berries, so twist gently as you thread them instead of forcing straight through.
03 -
  • Use a tall, narrow glass or mug to hold the melted chocolate so you can dip the whole skewer in one smooth motion without tilting the bowl.
  • Chill the strawberries in the fridge for ten minutes before dipping so the chocolate sets faster and clings tighter to the cold fruit.
  • If you're making these for a crowd, set up a little assembly line with one person dipping, another sprinkling toppings, and a third drizzling—it turns into a fun, fast rhythm.
