Notes
TIP! Pat strawberries with a paper towel after washing. Make sure your strawberries are completely dry before dipping them in chocolate to prevent clumping.TIP#2! If you place your spooky strawberries in the fridge to harden the chocolate let them sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before serving as chocolate tastes better when not cold.
