Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
These chocolate-covered strawberries are made with the simplest recipe I know. White chocolate may be drizzled over the milk chocolate for a fancier look. They are perfect for parties, Valentine's Day, and weddings. Decorate with frosting bow ties, bells, butterflies, hearts, roses, etc.

Directions
Melt chocolate and shortening in a double boiler, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Insert toothpicks into tops (stem ends) of strawberries. Hold a strawberry by the toothpick and dip it into the chocolate mixture.
Turn the strawberry upside down and insert the toothpick into a Styrofoam block or place strawberry on a sheet of waxed paper; allow chocolate coating to cool. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
