chocolate covered strawberries


nick & i made chocolate covered strawberries for sunday's mother's day brunch. the recipe couldn't be simpler, and the results were both visually stunning & tasty. i'm not typically a fan of the chocolate-fruit combination. but the light, fruitiness of the strawberry seemed to match the bittersweetness of the chocolate, perfectly.

recipe...
1 large plastic box strawberries
6-8 oz. of bittersweet chocolate morsels.
THAT'S IT!!
bring a saucepan full of water to a rolling boil. in the meantime, rinse & dry strawberries well. if you don't, the chocolate won't adhere. place your morsels into a glass or stainless steel double boiler or bowl. once water is rolling, turn heat off & place boiler/bowl on top of cooling water. use a whisk to stir until melted. remove from heat. next, start dipping. place dipped strawberries on wax paper to cool, or eat immediately.
