3. Wash the strawberries and remove the stalks.

4. Weigh the chocolate and break it in to small pieces, put the pieces in the bowl.

5. When the water is gently simmering, place the bowl on top of the pan so that the bowl isn’t touching the water. Allow the chocolate to melt and remove the pan and bowl from the hob.

6. Put a strawberry on each skewer and carefully dip each one in to the melted chocolate. Place the skewer upright in a container with the strawberry at the top so that the strawberries can cool and harden off.
