What you'll need:
- About 3/4 to a pound of strawberries
- 20-26 oz back of semi-sweet chocolate morsels (I really wanted to use the word morsels)
- 16 ozs of white chocolate chips or be daring....peanutbutter morsels!
- 2-3 tbsps of butter
- toothpicks
- wax paper
Unless you are like an uber cook, you probably only have the standard pots and pans. So we'll do it the ghetto stylin' way. You need two pots, one larger and one smaller. Make sure the small one isn't too small so that it can hang out on the rim of the larger pot without falling in. Fill the larger pot enough to surround the smaller pots bottom and sides with water. Bring to a heafty boil. Place 2 tbsps of butter and and about a cup and a half of chocolate chips into the small pot. Melt but make sure to keep stirring.
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Place the toothpicks in the tops of the strawberries for easy dipping. Once the chocolate is runny and easy to imagine dipping stuff in, place each strawberry in the chocolate about 3/4 of the way to the top. Once adequately covered stick it on the cookie sheet to dry. Keep doing this until either you can't handle it anymore or you run out of strawberries. Place the sheet in the fridge to cool.
Clean up your small pot quickly. It's a pain to get solid chocolate off a cooled pot. Once clean, start the white chocolate. This time, only use about a tbsp of butter. White chocolate is thinner and easier to handle. Only use about 1 cup of the morsels though, you don't need as much. Once the white chocolate is melted remove your sheet from the fridge and get creative with your strawberries. You can drizzle them making pretty lines, or you can double dip them.
