FAVORITES 

Tags: srawberry, chocolate shoplike

The chocolate covered fresh fruits are sweet and sinfully delicious and at just two or three of them per serving, make it seem like you are wickedly indulging yourself, although they are not overly loaded with calories.

	Purchase the freshest, ripest and largest strawberries available.
	Store the unwashed strawberries covered in the refrigerator up to one day before using them.
	Wash the strawberries gently right before making them.
	Be sure to dry them well, by rolling them around on and patting them with absorbent paper toweling.
	Leave the hulls intact on the strawberries, but be sure to dry the area of fruit under them well.
	You can use any sort of chocolate to dip the strawberries in, white, milk, semi sweet, pastel, but semi sweet is the preferred type.
	Be sure to melt the chocolate thoroughly in the top of a double boiler over low heat, stirring slowly but constantly until smooth.
	Stir in a teaspoon or so of vegetable oil to make the chocolate smooth and of dipping consistency.
	Line a large platter with waxed paper to put the strawberries onto after they are dipped.
	To dip the strawberries, you can either use a small wooden skewer inserted into the stem end of the fruit, or hold onto the hull with your fingertips while you dip them.
	Tip the piece of fruit at a slight angle and slowly twirl it in a circle, while dipping it into the melted chocolate up to the lower rim of the hull.
	When removing the strawberry from the chocolate, allow any excess melted chocolate to drip back into the pan.
	Put the dipped strawberry on a waxed paper lined plate until they are all dipped.
	If you want to dress up the chilled dipped strawberries with a contrasting chocolate drizzle, you can melt a bit of chocolate in the same manner as earlier.
	Store your confections in a tightly covered container, preferably in a single layer, for no longer than two to three days.
	Serve these on a pretty platter lined with a paper doily, or in nut cup.
