Ingredients:
- 2 pints Fresh Strawberries
- 12 oz. Chocolate Chips
- Waxed paper
Instructions
Wash strawberries, leaving greens on, and dry thoroughly.
Melt chocolate chips either in a double-boiler or in a microwave. To melt in the microwave, put chips in a microwave safe bowl, and put in microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir and put back in for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each time, until chocolate is melted. You can decrease time as chocolate gets close. Do not overcook chocolate or it becomes brittle and scorched.
Lay out plenty of waxed paper.
Holding each strawberry by the green, dip strawberries into the chocolate a little more that halfway. Let cool on waxed paper. If you live in a hot climate or for some other reason, the chocolate doesn't harden, place them on waxed paper lined cookie sheets in your refrigerator.
Arrange on a nice platter(I think crystal looks best)and serve.
Guests always seem to think that these take a lot more effort than they actually do. And they really look nice too.
