Wash the strawberries to remove any dirt and debris.

With each strawberry, pick it up by the leaves and slowly dip it into the chocolate mixture until it almost reaches the top. Rotate the strawberry to make sure all sides are coated. Then, lift the strawberry and gently shake off any excess chocolate.
