INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
20 fresh strawberries, rinsed and patted dry

INSTRUCTIONS:

Line a baking sheet with wax paper to place strawberries on once dipped. Rinse strawberries and lay on paper towels until completely dry. Berries are delicate so wash them just before using to guarantee maximum freshness and minimal bruising. . Place the washed strawberries on a clean paper towel. Allow to air dry completely before dipping in melted chocolate.

Microwave morsels and vegetable shortening in uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted; cool slightly.

To dip the strawberries, pull all the leafy greens carefully into your fingers, then dip the strawberry into the chocolate. Gently swirl the strawberry around the pool of chocolate, making sure all sides are evenly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

Place dipped berries on waxed paper on baking sheet. For fancy strawberries drizzle melted white chocolate over berries with a spoon.

Refrigerate until set.  Serve and enjoy!

Store covered in refrigerator so chocolate does not soften.
