Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries


Serves: 5
Total Calories: 542
Yield: 1 Poud Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Ingredients

16 ounces milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1 pound fresh strawberries with leaves

Directions:

1. Insert toothpicks into the tops of the strawberries.

2. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally, until smooth.

3. Holding them by the toothpicks, dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture.

4. Place on maxed paper to cool.

*Special tip: For a nicer final look, turn the dipped strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into a block of sturdy styrofoam (available at any craft store) for the chocolate to cool. This method keeps the strawberries from developing a flat bottom from the cooling chocolate.
