I used 2lbs of small strawberries, about 4.5oz of milk chocolate chips and 4.5oz pure semi-sweet chocolate chips, and about 1tsp of unsalted butter. I took the suggestion of someone below, and heated the chocolate in a bowl in 20sec increments about 70% power, stirring every 20sec. I had to heat it about 2:20min. The chocolate stayed smooth up until I finished dipping all the strawberries (which I washed and paper-towel dried individually), a 1/2h later, much to my surprise! :) I would suggest breaking the toothpicks in half if you're using small strawberries, and pre-poking the holes in the stryfoam- it makes it much easier. I also tried the coliander idea but I found my strawberries fell all over the place, see what works for you! These hardened in about an hour in the fridge, but because I made them for lunch with my boyfriend the next day, I kept them in the fridge overnight hoping they wouldn't go mushy and run, and they didn't! (=D!!). I needed to keep them cool for another 3 hours out of the fridge, so I put it in a plastic container surrounded by ice packs in an insulated lunch bag. They were perfect!
