# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks impressive but takes less time than brewing coffee.
  • You can make them hours ahead and pull them out when company arrives, no last-minute stress.
  • They work equally well for a kids party or a candlelit dinner.
02 -
  • Even a single drop of water will make your chocolate seize into a grainy mess, so keep everything bone dry.
  • If you're making these ahead, don't leave them in the fridge for more than four hours or the strawberries will start weeping moisture and soften the chocolate.
03 -
  • Use a deeper bowl for melting chocolate so you can dip the skewers at an angle without scraping the bottom.
  • Freeze the strawberries for ten minutes before dipping if your kitchen is warm, it helps the chocolate set faster and prevents smudging.
