Chocolate Coated Strawberries

Ingredients
200g 70% Dark Chocolate
220g Nutella or equivalent chocolate hazelnut spread
2 punnets of fresh strawberries


Method
Rinse the strawberries and pat dry with a dry cloth or tea towel. Set aside.
Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Do not let the bowl touch the water. Stir chocolate until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the Nutella spread until combined.

Dip each strawberry into the chocolate mixture and place them on a baking paper lined tray. Chill for around half an hour or until set, then serve.


Alternatives
Try other types of fruits such as figs.
Add nuts to the recipe. After dipping the strawberries into the chocolate mixture, coat them with nuts such as chopped toasted hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, almonds etc.
