After you dip a strawberrie in chocolate how do lay iton the wax paper?

When dipping strawberries in chocolate, it's important to let any excess chocolate drip off before laying them on wax paper. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Prepare your strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, making sure they are dry before dipping them in chocolate.

2. Melt the chocolate: You can use any type of chocolate you like, but dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate works well. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan filled with simmering water (double boiler method). Stir the chocolate constantly until it is completely melted and smooth.

3. Dip the strawberries: Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover it completely. Gently shake off any excess chocolate, allowing it to drip back into the bowl.

4. Place on wax paper: Lay a sheet of wax paper on a flat surface. Carefully place the dipped strawberries on the wax paper, spacing them slightly apart.

5. Let the chocolate set: Allow the strawberries to sit at room temperature until the chocolate has completely hardened and set. This may take several minutes or up to an hour, depending on the thickness of the chocolate.

6. Chill (optional): If you prefer, you can chill the strawberries in the refrigerator for a few minutes to speed up the setting process.

Once the chocolate has hardened, the strawberries are ready to be enjoyed!
