#266 - Chocolate Covered Strawberries

(by Shirley McNevich)

Make sure that strawberries are completely dry before dipping or the chocolate coating may clump. Dip berries no more than two hours before serving.

Fresh strawberries (rinsed and patted dry--leave the stems and caps in place)
12oz. EITHER chocolate or vanilla candy melts (available in WalMart craft department)--if only doing a few berries, reduce the amount of chocolate

In a small saucepan, melt the candy coating you choose over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and tip saucepan--hold the strawberry by the stem and dip 3/4 of the berry. Hold and allow the extra coating to drip off of the berry. Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or saran wrap. Allow to dry. Working quickly, repeat with remaining berries.
