Print Recipe

Ingredients

toothpicks .
6 oz chocolate, coarsely sliced (your favorite chocolate or what is on hand, can use sweet, semisweet, bittersweet or white) .
24-30 strawberries, green caps in tact

Directions

Step #1 Rinse strawberries, drying them with paper towels.
Step #2 Melt chocolate in top of double boiler or in microwave (full power in 30 second intervals, until chocolate is melted, stirring often).
Step #3 Note 1: CHOCOLATE SHOULD NOT BE TOO HOT - IF IT GETS TOO HOT IT WILL DRIP ON THE BERRIES INSTEAD OF ADHERING TO THE BERRIES.
Step #4 Note 2: BE CAREFUL--OVER HEATING CHOCOLATE MAY CAUSE SCORCHING AND KEEP IT FROM BLENDING PROPERLY.
Step #5 Insert toothpick into stem end of strawberry & dip 3/4 of berry into chocolate, leaving green cap & some of the red berry showing.
Step #6 Spear free end of toothpick into a piece of Styrofoam or grapefruit to allow strawberry to dry upside down (alternatively dry strawberries on waxed paper).
Step #7 Note 3: If chocolate becomes too thick to work with reheat chocolate carefully.
Step #8 Note 4: After chocolate hardens dip tip of berry into contrasting melted chocolate.
Step #9 After the chocolate hardens discard toothpicks.
Step #10 These berries are best if eaten within 24 hrs, for longer storage put in the fridge but serve at about room temp.
