Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen, 2007

Ingredients
1 pound (about 20) strawberries with stems, washed and
dried very well
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Directions
Rinse, but do not hull the strawberries. Drain and pat
completely dry.

Put the semisweet chocolate into heatproof medium bowls. Fill medium saucepan with
a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the
heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. Once

the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with
parchment or waxed paper.

*Cook's Note: Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a glass dish in the microwave
on high power for 60 seconds. Remove, stir and microwave for 10 seconds more until
the chocolate has melted. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly to thicken

Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the bottom half of each strawberry in the
melted chocolate. Twist the strawberry so that the chocolate forms a "tail" at the
end. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining
strawberries.
