Chocolate-Dipped Tuxedo Strawberries Recipe

  American Confections

Ingredients:
8 ounces white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
25 large strawberries with stems and leaves, chilled
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening

Directions:
Heat the white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon shortening in a double boiler over hot water until smooth, stirring frequently. Keep warm.

Dip each strawberry into the white chocolate to cover 3/4 of the strawberry. Arrange on a tray lined with waxed paper. Chill for 10 minutes.

Heat the semisweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon shortening in a double boiler over hot water until smooth, stirring frequently. Keep warm.

Dip one side of white chocolate-covered strawberries into the semisweet chocolate. Arrange on a tray lined with waxed paper. Chill until set. Repeat this process on the other side of the strawberries, forming a "V" shaped effect on the front of the strawberries. Chill until set.

Dip the end of a wooden pick into the melted semi-sweet chocolate.

Place three dots to represent buttons at the bottle of the V; now the strawberries are "dressed" for the event.
Makes twenty-five strawberries.
