Lay your dry strawberries out on a plate. Melt some chocolate. Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the chocolate and place it on the wax paper. If the chocolate gets too thick, return it to the heat, carefully. Place the finished strawberries in the refrigerator and allow them to cool.
Some people choose to add a bit of baker's wax or paraffin to the chocolate.
This is an edible substance that also helps to keep the chocolate solid at room temperature. It is a purely subjective move, not necessary. In 600 A.D., the Mayans migrated into the northern regions of South America, establishing the earliest known cocoa plantations in the Yucatan. It has been argued that the Mayans had been familiar with cocoa several centuries before this date. They considered it a valuable commodity, used both as a means of payment and as units of calculation.
