SERVINGS
You’re probably clever enough to coat a strawberry with chocolate without using a chocolate-dipped strawberries recipe, but even the most capable and confident among us can use help now and then.
Ingredients
- 6 cups whole strawberries, unhulled, washed and dried
- 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp butter
- Nuts, chopped (optional)
Directions
- Line large baking sheet with waxed paper. Melt chocolate chips and butter in double boiler set over simmering water until mixture is smooth.
- Stir in a tablespoon or two of water if your chocolate is too thick.
- Holding strawberry by its green top, dip 3/4 of berry into melted chocolate.
- Let excess chocolate drip off into the boiler.
- Roll in chopped nuts, if using.
- Place on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
- Refrigerate until chocolate coating is firm, about 1 hour.
