Dark Chocolate Strawberries

Hey Everyone! I hope everyone had a safe and fun Thanksgiving. Now it’s time to prepare for a new set of holidays. In the month of December I will post different recipes and tips for cookie exchanges, dishes to take to your holiday parties and ideas for Christmas morning and dinner. I will put a twist on some of your holiday favorites and give you some new ideas.

Ingredients:

6 ounces Semisweet Chocolate, (chopped)

1 pound Strawberries with stem, (washed & dried)

 

Directions:

1)      Put the semisweet heatproof medium bowl. Fill a medium saucepan with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. **

2)      Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries.

3)      Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

4)      Enjoy!

**Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.**
