Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Rating: 5/5
Difficulty: Idiot proof
Prep time: 10 minutes

Things you’ll need (duh):

• Fresh strawberries
• 1 bag chocolate chips
• 2 Tbsp shortening

This is a great treat for you and your significant other to enjoy on valentines day. They are extremely easy to make too and you’ll save a bundle from not buying them at the store.

Get some milk chocolate (or your choice) flavored chips from the store. Toss them into a saucepan with the shortening at low heat and let them melt into a liquid. The shortening makes the chocolate creamy and helps keep it from sticking to the wax paper. While they are melting you can wash your fresh strawberries. Then get out a cooking sheet and put a piece of wax paper on it. Once the chocolate is ready, roll the strawberries with a liberal coating of chocolate and place them the cooking sheet. Next put them in the fridge for 15 minutes or so, until the chocolate stiffens. Now go grab your partner and enjoy together.
