Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbs. shortening (do not use butter, margarine or oil)
Fresh Strawberries, rinsed and patted dry
|
|
| Method: Cover a tray with wax paper. Keep chocolate chips and shortening in a medium sized microwave safe bowl. Microwave at high for 1 minute. If necessary, microwave additional 30 seconds or until chips are melted and mixture becomes smooth when stirred vigorously. However do not overheat it. Dip two-thirds of each strawberry into melted mixture. When you dip the strawberry into the molten chocolate, give it a little shake as you withdraw it. This will fill in all the cracks and leave a nice, even line of chocolate at the base. |

When the strawberry is completely withdrawn from the chocolate, swirl it in a quick, clockwise motion to remove excess chocolate. Place on the wax paper covered tray. Cover and refrigerate until coating is firm, about 1 hour.

Ingredients for the dough:
2/3 cup sugar
3 1/4 to 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 1/2 tsp Yeast
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1 tablespoon Vanilla essence
1/3 cup milk chocolate
Salt
Decorations
Jelly beans
Decorating icing
Carrot
Pink pompom
Method: Firstly mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Then, heat butter, milk and water until very warm. Gradually add the butter/milk mixture to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg, vanilla and 1/2 cup flour and whip for 2 minutes. With the remaining flour make soft dough. Knead the dough on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover the dough for 10-12 mins. Divide the dough in half. For the body of the bunny, knead chocolate morsels to form into ball. Place the body at bottom end of greased large baking sheet. For head, remove 1/3 of remaining half; form into ball. Pinch the head on pan above the body. For nose, pinch off a small ball from the remaining dough and attach it on the center of head. Divide remaining dough into 4 equal pieces; roll each to form cords for arms and ears. Attach 2 ropes across body. Shape remaining ropes into ears and arrange above head. Cover; let rise in warm, about 30 to 45 minutes. Bake at 350 F for 50 minutes, covering with aluminum foil after 25 minutes to prevent excess browning. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack. Decorate as you wish.
