Recipe: Homemade Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Homemade Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Romance is in the air!   I like to make these around Valentine's Day or anytime I am craving a chocolate and fruit mix!   The added white chocolate really gives it the extra pop!

Ingredients

• 6 ounces Baker's semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 3 ounces Baker's Premium white chocolate, chopped
• 1 pound strawberries with stems (about 20), washed and dried very well

Instructions

1. Place chopped semisweet and white chocolates into two heatproof medium bowls and set aside. 
2. Fill two saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off heat and place bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth.
3. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Using a fondue fork and holding the strawberry, dip the fruit into the semisweet chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. 
4. Set coated strawberry on the parchment paper.  Repeat process with remaining strawberries.
5. Dip a fork or small spoon in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.
6. Place sheet pan with coated strawberries in fridge until the chocolate sets, approximately 1 hour. minutes.
