I made these so long ago and have just never posted them, but with it being June, and a huge month when people are getting married and having anniversaries, I figures now would be a good time to get this out of my archives. I always make these for me and my hubby to have on our anniversary, and I think that most people buy theirs cause they think they are complicated. But other then taking a little bit of time, they are so super easy. Enjoy!!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 1 pound fresh strawberries with leaves
- toothpicks
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate (optional)
In a double boiler melt the white chocolate and let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle place melted chocolate into either a disposable piping back or zip lock bag. With scissors, clip a little piece of the corner of the bag. (Be careful how much you clip away. You can always clip off more of the bag if you want a thicker stream of chocolate.)
Apply light pressure to bag and slowly drizzle over chocolate.
Allow chocolate to set either at room temperature or in the refrigerator and serve.

I've never drizzled the white chocolate before (they look so much nicer!), but making them yourself is so much cheaper and they usually taste better!
So pretty!
Patchie- I never used to either but I figured with how easy it is, I should just take the extra step cause it makes them look so pretty :) And I agree, I think they are so much better when you make them at home. Thanks for commenting!!
Eating Deliciously- Thank you!! I ended up having to recruit my husband to help with some of the picture because it was pretty much impossible trying to pipe chocolate at the same time as holding a camera ;) He did a pretty good job I will say.
