Fresh & Chocolate Dipped
Strawberries







By Jennifer & Catherine
Jennifer and Catherine loved making this great recipe
when they were dateless teeny-boppers.
On a Friday night,
when they would hang-out together,
they would make this fun treat.
Of course, as they grew older, and had boyfriends...
they had much more fun making this dish with them!

Ingredients
Fresh strawberries with stems and green caps
(washed and pat dry)  

1 pound semi sweet chocolate pieces

toothpicks 

Cover jell-roll or any rimmed pan
with parchment paper or foil
OR
You can use a Styrofoam block to poke dipped berries into

Directions
Insert a toothpick into the stem end
of each strawberry or hold the stem

Dip the strawberry into the chocolate
coating 3/4 of the lower part of the berry
being careful not to cover the stem
Scrape the side of the bowl on the way out
You may have to dip the strawberries twice
for a thicker chocolate coating
wait until the first coating sets, before dipping again

Place fruit on paper-lined pan
OR
Stick the toothpick into a piece of Styrofoam
to allow the strawberry to dry upside down
Allow coating to set
If desired, after the chocolate hardens
dip the tip in a contrasting chocolate
dark or white chocolate
OR
just drizzled over for a fancier look

After the chocolate hardens
remove the strawberries from the toothpicks and serve!
