Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries


This one came from the Betty Crocker Website and judging by the way we have gobbled these up, it is sure to be a new favorite!




1 Bag White Chocolate Chips

1 Tablespoon shortening

Oodles of Strawberries (I think they called for 18 large but ours were small so it used lots)

1/2 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

1 tsp shortening


Just rinse and dry the strawberries, melt the white chips w/shortening in the microwave, and dip away! Place the berries on a wax paper-lined baking sheet then drizzle with the semi-sweet melted mixture. It is best to melt the semi-sweet chips w/shortening in a plastic sandwich bag in the microwave and squish the bag to mix it up. Then cut the corner of the bag to decorate the strawberries. Chill in fridge.
Of course, you could reverse the white and semi-sweet chips to make chocolate berries with white decoration too :)
I think this solved my problem with the chocolate covered cherries the other day--I need to use a little shortening with the chips to get it nice and smooth when melted. I didn't say these were healthy recipes, just yummy ones!
