INGREDIENTS
16 oz chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1 lb fresh strawberries

DIRECTIONS
1. Insert toothpicks into the top of strawberries. (I don't even really bother with this step anymore.)
2. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth. Holding them by the toothpicks, dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture. (I don't have a double boiler, so I just use a bowl in a pot of water. I dip the strawberries straight in without the toothpicks.)
3. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into styrofoam for the chocolate to cool. (The styrofoam didn't really work that well for me so instead I just lay the strawberries on foil or wax paper.)

I've been using this recipe for years. So easy! I typically pop them in fridge until later. The recipe is easily adaptable to whatever chocolate you like, and you can garnish the strawberries with nuts or chocolate shavings/drizzles if you want some extra pizazz. Always a hit and simple enough for even the amateur chef. Enjoy!
