As if a chocolate covered strawberry wasn’t a good enough idea we have a double dipped chocolate covered strawberry. Tying together the wonderful taste of dark chocolate with milk chocolate, dark chocolate with white chocolate or any other concoction you can gather, leave this fun and delicious idea to satisfy your lovely ladies appetite.
What you will need:
24 strawberries With a stem. (roughly two small bins of berries)
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups Dark Chocolate (or chocolate of your preference)
Wax Paper
2 Double Boiler
Large Cookie Sheet
Prep Time: 15minutes
Method Time: 25 minutes
Method:
Line large baking sheet with the waxed paper. Wipe strawberries clean; dry with paper towels we don’t want any water left on these pretty ladies. (Water makes for non stick chocolate patches, we definitely don’t want that!)
1 Stir chocolate chips and shortening in top of double boiler set over simmering water until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. (do method for both double boilers)
2 Place chocolate in shallow bowl. Holding 1 strawberry by its green top, dip 3/4 of berry into melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off, then dip partially into second chocolate again let excess chocolate drip off. Place on waxed-paper-lined sheet.
3 Repeat dipping remaining strawberries into chocolate. Place on waxed paper.
4 Refrigerate until chocolate coating is firm, about 1 hour.
Tip: After strawberries have hardened, with remaining chocolate feel free to drizzle over the strawberries, write messages with a toothpick, or make a design with a toothpick. This adds that special little touch and makes it a little more personal for your gal.
Presentation:
Presentation for these lovely ladies is simple. Find a nice platter, one with a nice trim or even one with an interesting shape. Place Strawberries around the plate and place randomly small mint sprouts to accent it. Its quick, its simple and delicious. What more could you ask for!
