Equipment:

Wooden skewers

 

Ingredients:

2 lbs. medium to large fresh strawberries

2 cups dark or milk chocolate chips

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Rinse and gently pat dry fresh strawberries. With a small, sharp knife, carve out the stem of the strawberry in a circular motion.

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Slice the strawberries in half from top to bottom.

 

 

 

 

Step 3: At the top center of each of berry half, cut a small V-shape.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Gently insert a skewer at the bottom of the heart shape.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5: Heat chocolate chips in microwave for 30 seconds. Repeat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted and smooth.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6: Dip strawberries in melted chocolate. Let dry on parchment paper until chocolate firms.

 

 

 

Enjoy!
