They were delicious, and unsurprisingly I bought both the strawberries and chocolate from Lidl. The strawberries were huuuuge and both were really cheap!! Plus they're great for if you have a friend who is gluten intolerant.
1 Punnet of Strawberries
400g Chocolate
1. Break up the chocolate and place in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
2. Wash the strawberries and carefully pat them dry.
3. Once the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat. Hold the strawberries by the stalk and gently dip into the chocolate. Let some of the chocolate drip off. Once suitably covered, place onto greaseproof paper to harden.
4. Once hardened, place them onto a plate and pop them into the fridge.
Sarah's Tips
Use any chocolate you like. I used normal milk chocolate and it was totally fine.
If you hate cold strawberries, take them out of the fridge and let them come up to room temperature before eating.
You do need to use a lot of chocolate so you can dip the strawberries sufficiently enough.
Which brings me onto.... I had a lot of left over chocolate and wanted to use it instead of just throwing it in the bin.
So either using a teaspoon or pipping bag, make little chocolate buttons on a silicon mar. Once hardened, peel each button off the silicon mat and place in an airtight container. It really is that simple!
