Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Don’t dip your strawberries in any old chocolate. Give them that rich chocolatey HERSHEY’S flavor using HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.
Ingredients
- 60 Fresh strawberries , with stems, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 cups HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (12-oz. pkg.)
- 2 tablespoons shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil)*
Directions
- 1. Cover tray with wax paper.
- 2. Place chocolate chips and shortening in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 1-1/2 minutes or just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred; cool slightly.
- 3. Holding strawberry by top, dip 2/3 of each berry into chocolate mixture; shake gently to remove excess. Place on prepared tray.
- 4. Refrigerate until coating is firm, about 30 minutes. Store, covered, in refrigerator. Coats about 5 dozen small strawberries. (About 1 cup coating)
- *Butter, margarine and spreads contain water which may prevent chocolate from melting properly; oil may prevent chocolate from forming a coating.
