Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Directions

Wash and drain strawberries.

Pat dry with paper towel. Leave stems intact.

Place half of the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.

Microwave on high until melted (approximately 2 minutes). Sirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn!

Holding berries by the stem, dip one at a time into the chocolate.

Gently shake excess and place on waxed paper until firm.

If chocolate becomes too thick reheat for a few seconds.

Chocolate basket: cover a dish of desired shape (pie pan) with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.

Place melted chocolate in a ziploc bag and seal.

Snip a small hole in the corner and drizzle the chocolate to create a basket.

Chill until firm. Carefully remove the basket. Place on a serving tray and fill with chocolate covered strawberries.
