How pretty are they??? When you want to make something amazing.....that you can take to a party...or make for your own party...this one is the Winner!! Juicy Red Strawberries dipped in luscious chocolate.....they just win anyone over!!! Yes....it's pretty romantic too!! A good idea for a date night dessert too:)) Ohh....long gone are those days of date nights.

Ingredients:
10-14 Fresh juicy red Strawberries(large size)
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup white chocolate/ thin cookie icing for drizzle

Method:
1) Wash the strawberries and place on paper towel to dry. Dap them dry completely. Keep the strawberry leaves on.
2) Place small pot with water on the stove.(To make double boiler to melt the chocolate)
3) Melt the chocolate chips in a bowl  in microwave for 40 seconds. Stir.
4) Place the  bowl with chocolate chips on the pot of warm water. This will heat the chocolate mildly and keep it liquid for longer. Stir the chocolate till smooth. Do the same with white chocolate chips.
5) Dip the strawberry half way in the melted chocolate.Twist to remove excess chocolate.
