Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Ingredients:

1 bag or container of chocolate pellets for dipping fruit

3-4 baskets of strawberries

Directions:

1.  Wash, pat dry and let strawberries continue to dry on paper towels

2.  Follow the microwave directions to melt chocolate using a microwavable bowl
       (Be careful, microwave times may vary...don't burn the chocolate!)

3.  When chocolate is perfectly smooth take it out and dip strawberries, one at a time.

4.  Place on wax paper or parchment paper to dry

5.  When it's finished you can design a platter with the strawberries, even place them in

     small cupcake cups like Chef Azuki did.

The fresh strawberries are a healthy, lighter alternative to cake.  You still get your chocolate rush.  So mix and match, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and milk chocolate,

satisfying everyone's cravings!
