Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Melt chocolate and shortening in a double boiler, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  2. Insert toothpicks into tops (stem ends) of strawberries. Hold a strawberry by the toothpick and dip it into the chocolate mixture.
  3. Turn the strawberry upside down and insert the toothpick into a Styrofoam block or place strawberry on a sheet of waxed paper; allow chocolate coating to cool. Repeat with remaining strawberries.

Notes

  • Don't try to take a shortcut and skip the shortening. That's what makes the chocolate harden.
  • Make sure the strawberries are at room temperature before coating in chocolate. If you dip them straight from the fridge, they'll sweat as they warm up and you'll be stuck with a big mess.
  • There's no need to refrigerate the chocolate-covered strawberries to set, as they'll naturally harden over time at room temperature.
