Chocolate-Coated Strawberries

Keep these strawberries in the refrigerator until ready to serve; they will start to melt in a warm room.

  • ⅔ cup gluten-free, casein-free chocolate chips
  1. Wash strawberries, and let them dry completely.

  3. Once halfway melted, remove from heat, and continue stirring until completely melted.

  5. Place coated strawberries on a wax-paper-covered cookie sheet.

  6. Refrigerate strawberries for at least ½ hour before serving.
