Ingredients
  • 2-1/3 cups chocolate chips (14 ounces or 400grams)
  • 4 tablespoons canola oil
  • Strawberries
  • Additional coating chocolates as desires - White, Colored (Candy melts, Merkens Compound etc.)
Instructions
  1. Clean and wash the strawberries. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside to completely air dry,. Any water remaining on the strawberries could cause you chocolate to seize up so let stay on the safe side here.
  2. Prepare you paper cones, especially if this is you first time doing things. after you make a few you will become a pro in no time.
  3. Melt you dipping chocolate and thin as needed.
  4. Dip your strawberries, shaking off extra chocolate and set on wax./parchment paper for chocolate to set.
  5. Melt the drizzling chocolate and then fill paper cones. Snip the tips at desired opening size to allow you to drizzle the chocolate.
  6. Drizzle the strawberries. I used 2 different type of chocolate and maybe them in different combinations. You can do the same.
  7. Allow the chocolate to set then place in glassine or candy cups and box or serve on a decorative platter.
Notes
Although I have given quantities for the chocolate and strawberries, in the end it is totally up to you what you need. Left over chocolate can always be made into a chocolate bark (throw in some nuts, almonds, rice crispies etc) or it can be save for another use.
