Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Tablespoon shortening (like Crisco, not butter)
  • 6 fresh strawberries

Instructions
 

Stovetop directions

  • Rinse the strawberries, and then dry strawberries with paper towels.
  • Cover a small baking sheet or plate with wax paper.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips together with the shortening until smooth, stirring often.
  • Dip the strawberries 2/3 into the melted chocolate mixture. Shake gently to remove excess chocolate.
  • Set strawberries on the prepared baking sheet or plate in a single layer at least 1 inch apart.
  • Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.

Microwave directions

  • Rinse the strawberries, and then pat them very dry with paper towels.
  • Cover a small sheet pan or plate with wax paper.
  • Place chocolate chips and shortening in a small microwave-safe glass bowl.
  • Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until melted, stir chocolate at 30-second intervals.
  • Dip the strawberries 2/3 into the melted chocolate chips. Shake gently to remove excess chocolate.
  • Place strawberries on the prepared baking sheet or plate at least 1 inch apart.
  • Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.

Notes

  • The best way to store chocolate-covered strawberries is to leave them out overnight in a cool place if you will eat them within 24 hours. Otherwise, you can store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a couple of days.
