Strawberry dipped chocolate anyone?



So I decided to make this for my boyfriend.
It's actually easier than i thought it would be.
To make strawberry dipped chocolate you would need:

1. Strawberries of course... pick out the best ones that doesn't have bruices(I usually use ten strawberries but it's up to you to make more than that)
2. Chocolate bars.. i choose Hershey :] you can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate... so on








3. Here come my favorite part and also my boyfriend's ... It's the Snickers cums for the outer coat.  I chose Snickers because its my boyfriend's favorite candy.  But i think you can be creative and put other type of candies bars as the outer coat also.
Now, how to make it:
1. First you would want to wash the strawberries and leave it in the water for the sand and dust to brush off the strawberries, repeat the process several times to make sure it's clean.  Remember to leave the green part on, it'll be where you would hold on to when you dip the strawberries into the chocolate.
2. Second you will have to chop off the Hershey chocolate bar and put it in to a non metal bowl.  I use a clear bowl like this one.
3. Now you would want to boil some water in a pot.  When the water started to boil you would want to turn off the heat.  Then put the bowl with the chopped chocolate in to the pot.  Make sure the water level in the pot doesn't come in to the bowl. 
4. While waiting for the chocolate to melt.  You can prepare the outer coat of these whole thing.  Now, I've tried many ways to make Snickers bars in to crumbs but it didn't work out well.  So, my last resort was to leave the bar in the fridge till it harden a bit, then put it in to a blender and hope for the best.  Surprisingly it work out, although a bit messy but I've got the crumbs.  (no guarantee that your blender will be save so do this with caution).  When you finished making the crumbs, you can put it on to a flat dish. 
5. Now, that the chocolate in the bowl had fully melted, you can dry the strawberries.  The hardest part is the dipping part because it can become really  messy.  You can hold on to the green part of the strawberry and quickly dip it in to the chocolate, then roll it over on the dish full of Snicker crumbs.  That will give it a nice outer coat.  
 Remember to work quickly because the chocolate will quickly harden.  It might take sometimes but you will get the hang of it.  
6.  When you are done with all these step.  Put the strawberries in the fridge and wait for the chocolate to harden.  Then it's good to eat. 

Enjoy :]
