Answer 1

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
(MICROWAVE)

6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate pieces
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 pt. fresh strawberries, hulls intact, washed & dried

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. In a 1 quart microwave proof bowl, place the chocolate, then adding the butter on top in center. Microwave on medium for 2 minutes, then stir. Continue microwaving on medium for 30 seconds to 1 minute more, until chocolate and butter are all melted, stirring frequently.

Using the strawberry hulls as handles, partially dip the strawberries into chocolate, twirling the strawberries in the chocolate to cover berries. Then place berries, hull side down, on the wax paper lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes before serving. Can be served individually or as garnish on cakes, custards or puddings.

Answer 2

To keep berries from going to quickly keep them in the back of the fridge where it is the coldest (best place for eggs and milk too).

If you are going to dip them make an easy ganache. melt chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream over a double boiler until almost all of the chips are melted. whisking occasionally. DO NOT OVER HEAT this mixture or it will SEIZE and yo u will have to start over. once the chocolate has cooled but is still soft and shiny, dip your strawberries in and then set on a piece of parchment paper or a wire rack to cool. chocolate will harden. eat within 2-3 days.

we have made these in this fashion at my restaurant many times.

Answer 3

Eat them quickly. Use fresh strawberries and keep them in a seal-tight container in the fridge for up to three days.

To prevent the chocolate from burning, put the smaller kettle of chocolate inside a larger kettle of boiling water. If you melt chocolate directly on the stovetop, it'll burn if you're not a professional.

2 (18-ounce) packages double cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 cups milk
2 (3.4-ounce) packages French vanilla instant pudding mix
1 (10-ounce) package almond toffee bits
