1package White chocolate almond bark or melting wafers
Instructions
Clean you strawberries soaking them in a bowl full of water and a 1/4 of a cup of vinegar for 10-15 minutes . Rinse them and allow them to dry and come to room temperature . Before dipping pat each strawberry with each with a paper towel to make sure they are completely dry.
Melt your chocolate bark according to packages directions( I use the microwave) in a small bowl just big enough to dip the berries
Holding on the the leaves or stem dip the berries in the chocolate covering all sides . Scrape one side on the bowl and lay that side on the wax paper . This prevents the chocolate from puddling . ** If you leaves are too small to hold you can put a toothpick on that end to help dip it **
Place the dipped berries on wax paper and allow them to dry.
Melt a second chocolate -I like to use white chocolate
Place the melted chocolate in a piping bag or Ziplock bag , snip the end off the corner and drizzle over the strawberries. If you want to add sprinkles this would be a good time .
Store at room temperature and best eaten within 24 hours
