Chocolate dipped strawberies...yummy


Who says Valentines day is the only day to treat yourself to some yummy, classy, ever-so-good tasting chocolate dipped strawberries? NOT ME!!! Lol.

Since the kids are home today celebrating Presidents Day, Suzy and I decided it would be great to make our own chocolate dipped strawberries!!! And we would love to share our home made recipe!

Ingredients:
12 0z. semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (easier to melt)
2 Tbsp. shortening
24 strawberries (washed and dried)
1. Insert Skewer (or toothpick) into the tops of the strawberries
2. In a Pot with simmering hot water stick a large glass bowl on top of pot making sure it doesn't touch the water. Use this to melt the chocolate chips and shortening together, stirring occasionally until smooth!


3. Holding the strawberries by the skewers dip them into the chocolate mixture. Turn them around to make sure chocolate stays on strawberry.

4. Cover a large dish with wax paper and place the strawberry on top removing the skewer carefully.

5. Stick the strawberries in the refrigerator for an hour so the chocolate can harden.6. ENJOY!!!
