Ingredients
12 large ripe strawberries (long stems are best)
1/2 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet or dark)
1 cup chopped nuts – pecans or almonds (optional)
Procedure
- Gently rinse strawberries and dry on paper towels (berries must be completely dry). Line a baking tray with waxed paper.
- In a saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
- Dip lower half of each strawberry into chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip back into saucepan. Immediately roll in your choice of nuts and place on waxed paper-lined tray.
- Refrigerate uncovered about 30 minutes or until chocolate is firm, or until ready to serve. Store covered in refrigerator so chocolate does not soften.
