Double Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Serves 24

24 fresh whole strawberries (with stems)

8 ounces dark chocolate (coarsely chopped)

6 ounces white chocolate (coarsely chopped)

1. Gently wash strawberries (leaving on stems) and pat dry.
2. Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler (or microwave).  Remove from heat.
3. Holding by stem, dip each strawberry in melted dark chocolate. Lift and twist slightly to allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl. Place on a sheet pan covered with wax or parchment paper and allow dark chocolate to cool completely.
4. Once dark chocolate on strawberries has hardened, melt white chocolate in a double boiler (or microwave). Remove from heat.
5. Holding by stem, dip each dark chocolate covered strawberry halfway in melted white chocolate (or drizzle white chocolate over dark chocolate covered strawberries). If dipping strawberries, instead of drizzling with white chocolate, lift and twist slightly to allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl. Place on wax or parchment paper and allow white chocolate to cool and harden. Serving suggestions: Delicious as a garnish for cakes, parfaits, sundaes, or just as is for a decadent sweet treat!
