These chocolate covered strawberries are a super simple and easy to make dessert that's perfect for any occasion from baby showers to Valentine's day and more!
Place your chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring well between each until smooth.
Stir in the food coloring, one drop at a time until the color has been fully incorporated.
Dip your washed and dried strawberries into the chocolate.
Hold the berries above the chocolate to drizzle excess chocolate back into the bowl before placing the berries onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet to set.
Repeat until all berries have been covered and enjoy.
