Get Ready for Valentine's Day with Chocolate Dipped Strawberries!  Quick and Easy Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
Serves: 24 Serving Size: 1 chocolate-dipped strawberry Ingredients: - 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup fat-free half and half
- 24 large strawberries, washed, dried, and refrigerated until chilled
Directions: - Line a sheet pan with waxed paper.
- Pour the fat-free half and half into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Add the chocolate chips. Remove the pan from the stove and whisk with a wire whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Grasp the stem of a strawberry and dip it into the melted chocolate, twisting as you lift it out. Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the saucepan and then place the dipped strawberry on waxed paper.
- Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Set the strawberries aside and allow the chocolate to harden for about 30 minutes.

Chef’s Tips: - If you need that chocolate to firm up in a hurry, put the whole tray in the fridge.
- You can also melt the chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave. Heat the cream and chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring well between each one. This takes very little time, so watch closely, making sure that the chocolate doesn’t burn. If it does, throw it out and start again.
- Serving fresh fruit for dessert is a great way to increase your nutrient and fiber intake while decreasing the number of empty calories you consume.
