My treats are well known to make an entrance at parties & occassions. These especially. Im known to make chocolate covered goods. Marshmellows, cookies, pretzels, ricecrispies treats, bananas but here today were learning the art of strawberry dipping =P I know what your thinking... How hard can it possibly be?? Well, it's pretty easy but if you dont do it right they'll look sloppy, it can be messy or you can burn the chocolate when using those " microwavable chips". Lets start with the ingridients.
You will need:
Wax paper
Strawberries
Dipping Chocolate
Fondue Pot or small bowl pan
1/2 teaspoon cooking oil
First of all we clearly need to warm up the chocolate.
-If you have a fondue pot then it should be easy. Just turn it on, stick the chocolote in and voila!
-If your using a cooking pan, set the heat on low. Throw in your chips and stir occationally.
-When chocolate is melted, mix in the cooking oil to thin the chocolate a bit.
-Grab the straberry by its stem and hold the pot with other hand, dip strawberry while turning it to coat evenly & hold it over to let excess chocolate fall off.
Turn is upside down
Place on wax paper carefully. Wax paper is perfect because it will keep the chocolate from sticking.
Repeat for all.
Let dry for about an hour or until chocolate is firm. You can put them in the fridge to speed up the process, then serve!
I usually like to get creative with sprinkles, coconut flakes, powdered sugar, or drizzling white chocolate over but since these particular strawberries were kinda small I decided to simply dip them. Next time I'll show you more about dolling them up =) Till then
