Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

• From: Florida Strawberry Growers Association

Ingredients

• 1 lb strawberries, with stems

• 2 cups dark or milk chocolate wafers (or melting discs)

• 1/4 cup white chocolate wafers (or melting discs)

Dark chocolate or milk chocolate—you decide. Either way you go, this dessert is pure luxury.

Directions

• Wash, drain, and dry strawberries with paper towels. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• In a crockpot or double boiler melt dark or milk chocolate, stirring often. In another crockpot or double boiler, melt white chocolate and stir.
• Hold strawberries at stem (or insert wooden toothpick or skewer into each berry) and dip into dark or milk chocolate to cover two-thirds of the berry. Allow excess chocolate to drain off.
• Place berries on the baking sheet to cool. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
• Remove baking sheet from refrigerator. Dip a toothpick or wooden skewer in the melted white chocolate. Use to drizzle white chocolate over the chocolate dipped strawberries in a zigzag pattern.
