Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Today, my sister and I were bums and stayed in all day watching movies and keeping warm by the fire. As the day progressed we got a craving for something sweet, fresh and chocolate....so naturally we had to make chocolate covered strawberries! Yum!

First, melt the chocolate. Place a pot of water on the stove and heat the water, set a bowl on top of the pot and put in the chocolate chips. The steam from the water will melt the chocolate. Keep a close eye on the chocolate because you don't want it to burn and curdle. It only takes a few minutes to melt, stir until it is smooth consistency. 

Use a teaspoon to spread a generous amount of chocolate on the bottom three-quarters of the strawberry.

Place a sheet of wax paper on a cookie sheet to ensure that the chocolate won't adhere to the cookie sheet. Place the strawberries in the fridge for 10 to 20 minutes so that the chocolate has time to harden. 

Vwalah! Perfect chocolate covered strawberries! Enjoy!
