  • 60 mins
  • Budget Friendly

Ingredients

  • 16oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate
  • 2 tbsp Shortening (some people like to use paraffin wax)
  • 1 lb Fresh Strawberries, cleaned and dried really well - with leaves on them
  • 2 oz white and/or dark chocolate
  • You Need:
  • Toothpicks
  • Double Boiler
  • A large piece of Styrofoam (or new floral arrangement foam)
  • Baking sheet covered in waxed paper

Preparation

Step 1

On the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening (or wax). Stir frequently until totally smooth.

Step 2

Stick a toothpick into the top of the strawberry (make sure it's in there securely). Holding them by the toothpick, dip the strawberries.

Step 3

Let any excess drip off, and then turn the strawberries upside down and sick the toothpick into the foam, where they will stay securely until the chocolate is set.

Step 4

When the chocolate is totally cooled, remove the toothpicks and set them on the baking sheet. Melt the decorating chocolate in top of double boiler. Drizzle the chocolate over the strawberries (on the chocolate part) - use a fork to "fling" the chocolate around to create design, or if you are very creative you can use an icing bag to create ziz-zag designs.
Set them totally in the fridge for an hour before moving them to storage containers. Keep in the fridge.

Step 5

Enjoy!
