Tuxedo Dipped Strawberries

Categories: Good, Morning, Texas
Yield: 10 servings

10 Strawberries washed with
-stem
1 lb Dark chocolate melted
1 lb White chocolate melted

PLACE clean strawberries in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

MELT in two glass microwavable bowls both chocolates using a microwave and
by stirring it until the chocolate is warm, but not hot.

THEN line a small cookie pan with parchment paper and dip the strawberry in
the white chocolate first by gently gripping the stem (coat 3/4's up).
Place the strawberry on the paper and chill in the refrigerator for 5
minutes.

NEXT dip the strawberry in the dark chocolate (using the same technique)
and coat both sides creating a V pattern. Looking at the strawberry the
dark chocolate should touch at bottom and the remaining white chocolate
should look like a tuxedo shirt without studs. Put the berry back on the
parchment and refrigerate for another 5 minutes.

NOW to create the studs and the tie use a paper pastry bag (or a very small
artist paint brush) and fill it with a small amount of the dark chocolate
and pipe 3 to 4 dots (studs) and small bow tie.

LAST carefully remove the strawberries with flat wide knife and present on
a mirror, marble piece or silver tray with a small amount of flowers.

* Suggested Wine: Great with red and white wine or champagne.

* Serving Ideas: Great after dinner treat for guests or for weddings.
