Want to make your own chocolate covered strawberries? Redondo Beach Patch has the following recipe:
Chocolate Covered Strawberries

• 1/2 pound good dark chocolate bits
• 12 long-stemmed strawberries

Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries—any water added to the melted chocolate will change the emulsion.

In a double boiler over a low heat, slowly melt the dark chocolate bits. Stir slowly and well until all the chocolate pieces are melted and the chocolate is smooth.
Dunk strawberries in chocolate, leaving about 1/4 of the strawberry showing.
Gently place onto wax paper and let chocolate set.
