Equipment
- microwave
- bowl
- cookie sheet
- Wax paper
Ingredients
- Strawberries
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (any type)
- 1/2 to 1 tsp Crisco per 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare a bowl for dipping and line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and Crisco, then heat for 40 seconds and stir.
- Continue microwaving in 10-second intervals until the chocolate is about 80% melted, then dip each strawberry into the chocolate.
- Place the coated strawberries on the wax paper and repeat until all are coated. Allow to cool and harden, or refrigerate to speed up the process.
Notes
Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid chocolate seizing. The chocolate will finish melting while stirring, so stop heating once 80% of the pieces are melted.
