CHOCOLATE DIPPED STRAWBERRY RECIPE:
Ingredients:
1 Bag of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
20 Large Strawberries, cleaned with stems on,
Directions: After washing your strawberries make sure they are dry. Cover a flat surface in parchment or wax paper. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler until nice and creamy. Remove from the heat. Grab the strawberries by the stem and dip almost up to the stem in the chocolate. Place the strawberry on the paper covered flat surface and continue until all the strawberries or chocolate is gone. (If you have chocolate left over toss in some nuts, marshmallows or pretzels and spoon the mixture onto your paper too - never waste chocolate!) Cool in the fridge until the chocolate has hardened. Once the chocolate is hardened you can also melt some white chocolate, spoon this into a plastic baggie, cut a tiny hole in one bottom corner and drizzle over the dark chocolate covered strawberries for a nice little flair!
