Description

This is the simplest version of chocolate covered strawberries I know. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert by the toothpicks into a piece of styrofoam for easy cooling, or simply place them on a sheet of wax paper. White chocolate may be drizzled

Ingredients

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

Steps

1. 1. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth. Holding them by the toothpicks, dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture.
2. 2. Insert toothpicks into the tops of the strawberries.
3. 3. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into styrofoam for the chocolate to cool
