instead of showing up to a party with the overly-done chocolate covered strawberries, surprise your friends with these crowd pleasers. i took them to an all girl wine night and they were a HIT!
first off, wash your strawberries and mint leaves. the finished product will be completely edible.
2
use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out the insides of the strawberries. don't hallow too much or you'll have a hole in the berry which will cause the chocolate to leak out. put the hallowed strawberries in a muffin tin to keep them upright for easy pouring
3
(here's the melon baller i have. the jagged edge end works so well with this project). i was going to try chocolate and white chocolate, but ended up only using the chocolate. play around, have fun.
put the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave. start in small increments because each microwave varies. you do NOT want to burn your chips
4
spoon the melted chocolate into a sandwich bag and snip a SMALL hole in one of the corners with scissors. squeeze the chocolate into each strawberry, filling it up
5
stick your mint leaves into the chocolate and put in the freezer or refrigerator until the chocolate has set
