Ingredients
  

  • strawberries
  • chocolate chips semisweet, milk, white, bittersweet
  • shortening ex. Crisco
  • parchment or wax paper

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry your strawberries. Grab all your ingredients and set your station up.
  • Pour one cup of chocolate chips and one tablespoon of shortening into a microwave dish. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Then take out of microwave and stir. Chocolate will STILL melt while you stir! Depending on your microwave, put the chocolate in for another 30 seconds. My microwave takes two 30 second rounds, yours might take more or less. Be careful not to burn the chocolate!
  • Grab the strawberry from the base and dip it in the melted chocolate. You can use a spoon also to get the upper part by the leaves to make it nice and even. Place on parchment paper and repeat.

WHITE CHOCOLATE

  • For the white chocolate, melt it the same way as the chocolate above. Then pour it into a Ziploc bag, tilted so that you have a little corner tip of the bag clean. (See picture). Then, with some scissors clip a tiny hole on the corner. Pour white chocolate from the very small hole and drizzle on your strawberries.
  • Refrigerate an hour and serve!
