Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
- 1 cup sweet dark chocolate (equivalent to 2.6 oz. dark chocolate bars—our favorite is Black and Green Dark Chocolate Bars)
- 3 cups fresh strawberries (long stems are the sexiest)

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water and bring to a simmer. Break the chocolate bars into pieces and place them in the top of the double boiler. Stirring constantly, melt the chocolate. When the chocolate is completely melted, pick up a strawberry by the stem and carefully dip it into the chocolate. Place strawberries an inch apart on the parchment paper and refrigerate until dry. As a variation, you can use any other of your favorite fruits that happen to be in season.
