Equipment

• A glass or ceramic mixing bowl
• Large saucepan with 300ml of water in it

Make sure an adult helps you with the hot water

Method

• Pour the water into the saucepan and place on the stove until it simmers (nearly boiling)
• Break the chocolate up into small pieces and put into the mixing bowl. Do not use a plastic bowl as it could melt
• Stand this bowl over the pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate melts
• Wash your strawberries & gently dry them with a piece of kitchen roll
• When the chocolate has melted remove the bowl from the heat
• Dip each strawberry into the chocolate giving them a good coating then place them on the greaseproof paper to set. You can pop them into the fridge for 30 minutes.
• When they have set transfer them to a serving plate & sprinkle with a little icing sugar
