Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Chocolate Covered Strawberries 


By: Kitten
"This is the simplest version of chocolate covered strawberries I know. Paraffin wasoriginally used instead of shortening. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert by the toothpicks into a piece of styrofoam for easy cooling, or simply place them on asheet of wax paper. White chocolate can be drizzled over the milk chocolate for afancier look. they are perfect for weddings when they fly with frosting, bells, butterflies, roses, decorated, etc. "
