Chocolate Drizzled Strawberries and Mint

Chocolate Strawberries and Mint

Ingredients:
Fresh mint
Fresh strawberries
Dark-Semisweet chocolate bar

Method:
Wash strawberries and hull.

Wrap paper towel around each and get completely dry.

Wash mint and cover with paper towel to pat completely dry as well.

Halve the strawberries and dab each one cut side down on a paper towel to rid extra moisture.

Place on a baking sheet covered with wax paper.
Tear mint leaves off one at a time and place one on each strawberry.

Melt chocolate on medium low heat until a few chunks are left. Take off heat and stir until all chocolate is melted.

Let cool. (Can be done before you wash berries.)

Once chocolate is cooled, pour into a baggy and cut off a very small corner.

Squeeze out the chocolate and run over strawberries in straight lines or zig zag on each berry.

If mint leaves move or fall off, use a toothpick to secure the leaf until the chocolate is on and set.

Let set until chocolate becomes firm. Do not place in fridge--a discoloration of the chocolate will usually take place, especially for untempered chocolate.

Once chocolate is set, arrange how you want, serve, and enjoy!
