Ingredients
- 12 fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate (or substitute chocolate chips)

- Cut another slice off the opposite end of the strawberries to remove the leaves.
- Use the knife to carve out the core of the strawberries, creating a cavity, then place the strawberries upright on a plate.
