A Word From The Cook

“an after dinner treat, a dessert or a party favor for the end of the night”

Instructions

1. Wash the strawberries and lay flat on paper towels to dry.
2. Place a medium sized glass bowls over a pot of water (or use a double boiler) and bring to a boil.
3. Add the chocolate chips and shortening and stir until smooth.
4. Using toothpicks, stab the strawberries from the stem end and lower into the chocolate mixture.
5. Place on a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper to allow the chocolate to cool.
