Ingredients

These are the ingredients you'll need to make perfect chocolate-covered strawberries:

· Chocolate chips: This recipe calls for milk chocolate chips, but you can use dark or white chocolate if you prefer.
· Shortening: Mixing shortening with the chocolate ensures a smooth, shiny coating.
· Strawberries: Of course, you'll need strawberries! Keep the leaves on for the prettiest presentation.

You'll also need toothpicks for dipping the strawberries in the chocolate.

Description

Here's a brief overview of what you can expect when you make chocolate-covered strawberries at home:

1. Melt the chocolate and shortening together.
2. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate.
3. Allow the chocolate to harden.

Tip: You can leave the chocolate-covered strawberries plain, coat them in sprinkles or chopped nuts, or drizzle them with white chocolate.
