Superbowl Strawberries


I don't love sports, but I do love any excuse to cover fruit in chocolate.
Next year for the Superbowl, try making these festive football themed strawberries.

Supply list:
- Two pounds of chocolate
- Two semi-sweet chocolate baking bars
- One bag of white chocolate chips
- A frosting piping bag (or a zip lock bag)

Wash the strawberries (please, don't eat unwashed fruit)
Start by breaking up the chocolate bars into smaller pieces, and melting it on stove.
Make sure the strawberries are fully dried before dipping them, because water will make the melted chocolate seize. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate by holding them by the stems, and spinning them so all sides are covered.


Once all of the strawberries are covered in the chocolate, put them in the fridge for at least 5 minutes so the chocolate hardens before adding the white chocolate. 

Put the white chocolate chips in a bowl and melt them in the microwave for 45 seconds. Mix until the melted chocolate is smooth. Then transfer the white chocolate from the bowl into either the piping bag or a zip lock bag (cut a tiny amount off the corner of the zip lock bag to allow mixture to come through).

Using your piping bag, draw a white chocolate line across the top, bottom and middle, making crossing lines to resemble a football.
Put the finished product back in the fridge to harden until served.

....Happy dipping strawberry people!
