There's very little in the world more pleasurable than a fresh sweet strawberry dipped in high quality bittersweet chocolate! : )

My new favorite dessert for serving guests. I thought 2 strawberries per person was plenty as an after dinner treat. Wow was I wrong! Make more than you think! Loved it with dark chocolate! Kids did too.

These were so easy and delicious! I used 1 bag ghirardelli semi sweet premium baking chips and one bar ghirardelli intense dark (60%). I bought 2 packages regular strawberries, threw the few mushy ones to the chickens. I melted chocolate and dipped as directed. I did use the fork method as described by another reviewer to add fancy white chocolate stripes to my berries. I had a little dark chocolate left over so I poured it onto the wax paper next to the berries (ghirardelli is to expensive and yummy to waste) and let it cool into a dark chocolate glob, lol. My husband loved these for valentines day desert. I sent the leftovers to work with him to give to his boss and coworkers. Everyone loved these and were impressed that they were home made!

Easy and great! Used dark chocolate chips in the microwave. Besides the strawberries, I dipped dried apricots and dried pineapple. I made chocolate covered pretzels with various toppings. I took it to a party and got rave reviews.

What's better than dark chocolate covered strawberries? Ones that are also layered with coconut, pecans, and melted butterscotch! "Double-dipping" is a great way to add intrigue to an already delicious classic. Butterscotch chips don't melt too well, but you can still swirl some on there--it gives a great marbleized effect & tastes great. Keys to dipping any fruit--> use good quality chocolate (dark melts the best), dip fruit only when they're thoroughly dried, and have a wax paper-lined cookie sheet ready to pop into the fridge once all the goodies are dipped.

YUM! I followed the directions in the tempering article http://allrecipes.com/howto/tempering-chocolate/detail.aspx using semi-sweet chocolate and it had a nice gloss to it and dried nice, but it was rather thick to work with. Maybe it was because I used semi-sweet chips? I did NOT add anything like shortening or butter to the chocolate, I think that effects the drying and hardening of the chocolate.

What a quick & easy way to make a big impression! I melted Hersey's Special Dark and Ghirardelli Bittersweet morsels in a large glass measuring cup in the micro. (I had alot of strawberries to dip!) After dipping I placed the strawberries in large disposable Reynolds cake tins, lined with parchment, then popped them into the fridge for a while. Right before leaving the house, I lightly dusted them with powdered sugar for a little oomph. They were a huge hit with my daughters track team! Next time I'll try drizzling white chocolate over the dark...I'm so glad i tried this recipe!
