Working with strawberries can get tricky at times for Chocolate Covered Strawberries. So before dipping them into chocolate, I used a toothpick to get a hold and grip on the strawberry while dipping it in the chocolate. This helped me make sure that all the sides of the strawberries had a smooth chocolate layer on them.

Further, I used a Styrofoam base to hold the decorated strawberries upright while they sat in the refrigerator so that they get a perfect shape. Just like the ones we get in stores.

Make these tomorrow for the New Years Eve, whether it’s for the crowd, or loved ones or just the two of you. These are surely going to be a sweet way to ring in the New Year. Wishing you all a Very Happy New Year. Have a Wonderful 2016.
