Chocolate Covered Strawberries

This recipe is so easy and fun to decorate. It's definately a "No Brainer". Enjoy!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries:

Fresh Washed Strawberries
1 package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup of heavy whipping cream (unbeaten)
1 package of white chocolate chips
1 package of toffee brickle bits
1 quart freezer bag
Wax paper or parchment paper
Cooking spray

Make sure the strawberries are washed and patted dry with a paper towel. If strawberries are too moist, then the chocolate won't stick.

In a microwavable bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of whipping cream. Microwave mixture for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes or until chocolate is melted. With a whisk, carefully mix chocolate until smooth. You may add more whipping cream if the mixture is too stiff.

In another microwavable bowl, combine white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of whipping cream. Microwave mixture for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes or until chocolate is melted. With a whisk, carefully mix chocolate until smooth. You may add more whipping cream if the mixture is too stiff.

Take the melted WHITE chocolate mixture and pour into freezer bag. Carefully cut a small corner of the bag so the white chocolate can drizzle out slowly.

Put toffee bits in a bowl and set aside.

Put wax or parchment paper on a cookie sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray. Take strawberry and dip half way into the semi-sweet chocolate mixture. Make sure it coats all around the strawberry. At this time you can either dip it in toffee bits or place on paper. Then drizzle white chocolate mixture on top of strawberry and set aside. When cookie sheet is filled, refrigerate until chocolate is solid. Serve and enjoy!
