Instructions

Add water about ¼ of the way up in a sauce pot.
Create a double boiler by placing a metal mixing bowl that fits slightly larger than the sauce pot that is filled with ¼ water.
Quickly rinse the strawberries and pat dry. Add chocolate to the metal mixing bowl and place over heat.
Add heavy cream to the chocolate.
Once the mixture begins to become warm, add your butter.
Take the strawberries and coat them with sugar. This is optional and can help sweeten the strawberries.
Once your chocolate is melted, whisk firmly to incorporate air into the mixture and close your flame.
Tilt the bowl and scrape the sides to form a puddle of chocolate to make it easier to dip the strawberries.
Dip the strawberry into the chocolate, rotating clockwise to coat the strawberry up to your desired level.
Pull strawberry out of chocolate and shake off excess chocolate.
Lay on parchment paper. Continue this step till all strawberries are done.
Place the strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving. Average time to chill is 15-20 minutes or longer.
Remove from the refrigerator and plate. Add our MyPrepTable whipped cream and sugar glaze. This is optional but highly recommended.
