Rocky road strawberries
Prep time: 15 minutes, plus chill time
Cooking: 5 minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 100 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), chopped

Place the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over a small saucepan of gently simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir for 1–2 minutes or until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat, keeping the bowl over the saucepan.
