Bring 2-3″ of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Turn the heat down to low just so the water stays hot.
Chop ⅔ of the chocolate and place it in a heat-safe bowl. Place the bowl over the pot of water, the bowl should fit on top of the pot without the bottom of the bowl touching the water.
Gently heat the chocolate while stirring. Keep it over the pot of hot water and use a digital instant-read thermometer to bring it to 112-115° F.
Remove the bowl from the pot of water, chop the remaining ⅓ of the chocolate, and stir it into the melted chocolate. Continue to stir until the chocolate is melted and the temperature comes down to 80-82° F on your instant-read thermometer.
Place the bowl back over the pot and slowly bring the temperature back up to 90° F. The chocolate is now in temper and is the perfect consistency for dipping the strawberries.
Dip the strawberries into the chocolate and place them on a cooling rack or a plate. The chocolate will set in 1-2 minutes and stay solid at room temperature.
