CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
(MICROWAVE)
6 oz!. semi-sweet chocolate pieces
2 tbsp!. unsalted butter
1 pt!. fresh strawberries, hulls intact, washed & dried
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper!. In a 1 quart microwave proof bowl, place the chocolate, then adding the butter on top in center!. Microwave on medium for 2 minutes, then stir!. Continue microwaving on medium for 30 seconds to 1 minute more, until chocolate and butter are all melted, stirring frequently!.
Using the strawberry hulls as handles, partially dip the strawberries into chocolate, twirling the strawberries in the chocolate to cover berries!. Then place berries, hull side down, on the wax paper lined cookie sheet!. Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes before serving!. Can be served individually or as garnish on cakes, custards or puddings!.

Strawberries grown in so cal ripen in feb to may!. They are in the stores all year round!. So go to the store, get some strawberries and chocolate, and make you're some money!.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water (almost boiling)!. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the hot water!. Stir often!. Dip strawberries, lay them on wax paper to dry/cool!. don't use chocolate chips, they don't dry hard enough!. Learned the hard way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
