Strawberry Bouquet










Ingredients

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
Red food 3 drops color to make pink drizzle
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped (divided for pink drizzle)
1 pound strawberries with stems (about 20), washed and dried very well
20 bamboo skewers

Directions

Wash the strawberries and dry very well.  Insert bamboo skewer in the strawberries. Melt the chocolates in a microwave at 30 seconds then stir and then heat for 30 seconds then stir, or until melted.)  

Once the chocolates are melted and smooth (add ½ tsp shortening  for the glossy looks), remove from the heat. Holding the strawberry by the skewer, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries in a tall glass. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries. For finer design, place white melted chocolate in small zip lock bag and cut tiny tip.
