Yes u do cuz if u don't it will be just like big chunks
The quickest way to make chocolate dipped strawberries is to heat the chocolate in the microwave oven, instead of on the stove top. This way is much faster, and the cleanup is much easier too.
To make chocolate softer, refrain from putting chocolate in your fridge or freezer. Store it in room temperature but dont heat it up or else it will melt.
heat chocolate slowly while stirring to prevent the chocolate from burning before adding to the chocolate ountain
This creates a double broiler effect. If you were to put the chocolate over the direct heat it would quickly "burn" the chocolate before it was all melted. By putting it over boiling water you get a slower more controlled heat to the chocolate, making it easier to get smooth creamy chocolate.

Dehydrating strawberries in the oven can be complicated. The heat must be kept very low to avoid burning the berries.
Chocolate will burn at 450.
Of course Chocolate first because it is the liquid to hot so it will melt first
Strawberries contain a high water content which helps to absorb and dissipate heat quickly, preventing them from catching fire. Additionally, the sugar content in strawberries caramelizes when exposed to heat, creating a protective layer that acts as a barrier to further burning.
First if you haven't washed the strawberries you can if you want to. Then take a bowl and put a handful of any kind of chocolate chips you like in the bowl. One handful makes 4-5 berries. Then microwave the chocolate until its smooth. Dip the berries in and cover all of the sides. Put them on a plate with a sheet of waxed paper on the plate. Put the plate with the berries on top in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is pretty hard. Then take out and enjoy. If you need more just double the recipe.

Preheating an oven means setting a temperature before putting something in an oven. If you don't preheat the oven and put a turkey in the turkey wil be cooked for longer. Which can affect the texture, taste and what not.
