FAQs
Q: Can I use regular chocolate instead of Dubai chocolate?
A: Yes. Use dark or milk chocolate you like. Dubai chocolate is optional.
Q: Do strawberries need to be fully dry before dipping?
A: Yes. Water stops the chocolate from sticking and can make it seize.
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: You can make them a few hours ahead and keep them in the fridge, but eat within 1–2 days for best quality.
Q: How do I melt chocolate without a microwave?
A: Use a double boiler: place a bowl over simmering water and stir the chocolate until smooth.
