White Chocolate Dipped-Strawberries

Servings: 18
Comments:
Serve these at your next brunch or tea, or have them as an after dinner light dessert. Buy strawberries that are just ripe, and flavorful. Purchase large and very bright red strawberries, if available.

Ingredients:
2 cups white baking chips
1 tablespoon shortening
18 large strawberries with leaves (not hulled)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon shortening

Instructions:
1. Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper. Heat white baking chips and 1 tablespoon shortening in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chips are melted.

2. For each strawberry, poke fork or toothpick into stem end, and dip three-fourths of the way into melted chips, leaving top of strawberry and leaves uncoated. Place on waxed paper-covered cookie sheet.

3. Heat semisweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate chips are melted. (Or place chocolate chips and shortening in small microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 minute; stir. Microwave 2 to 3 minutes longer, until mixture can be stirred smooth.)

4. Drizzle melted semisweet chocolate over dipped strawberries, using small spoon. Refrigerate uncovered about 30 minutes or until coating is set.
Makes 18 white chocolate-dipped strawberries.
