Method

Melt the chocolate in a microwave oven or bain-marie. Drop the fruits in the melted chocolate one by one, coat completely, then remove them using 2 forks or better still a chocolate-maker’s dipping fork, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place them on the sheet of acetate or greaseproof paper and leave them at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to set.
