Photo by: james@fsdi.com on January 28, 2016

What You Need/Ingredients

• pint-basket (1 pound) fresh strawberries
• 2 cups (12 ounces) dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 1/2 cup (3 ounces) white chocolate, optional for drizzling

Instructions

• Gently rinse strawberries and dry on paper towels (berries must be completely dry).
• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper.
• In 1-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring frequently.
• Remove from heat.
• Dip lower half of each strawberry into chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip back into saucepan.
• Place on waxed paper-lined tray or cookie sheet.
• Refrigerate uncovered about 30 minutes or until chocolate is firm, or until ready to serve.
• Store covered in refrigerator so chocolate does not soften (if made with oil, chocolate will soften more quickly at room temperature).
