1. Rinse strawberries thoroughly. Cut off stem and tip, hollow out, leaving one side closed like a cup.

2. On low heat melt the chocolate chips in a small pot, stirring frequently.

3. Dip the strawberry bases into the chocolate and place on a plate. Once all strawberries have been dipped, place into the freezer.
