Chocolate-Dipped StrawberriesMelt chocolate in your microwave, give strawberries a quick dip, and then add a Southern touch by rolling them in chopped pecans.

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts fresh strawberries
  • 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream

Preparation

  1. Rinse strawberries, and pat completely dry with paper towels (chocolate will not stick to wet strawberries). Set aside.
  2. Microwave chocolate morsels and whipping cream in a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl at MEDIUM (50% power) 3 1/2 minutes. Stir until smooth.
  3. Grasp strawberries by the stem, and dip into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip. Place on wax paper, and let stand until chocolate hardens.
