List of Ingredients



• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  
• 3 Tbsp heavy cream
  
• 1 Tbsp butter
  
• 10 large strawberries, with long stems
  






Instructions



1. Line a baking sheet with foil or waxed paper.
   
   
2. In the top of a double boiler set over hot water, melt the chocolate, stirring. Add the 3 tablespoons cream and the butter, and stir until smooth.
   
   
3. Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip into the chocolate mixture, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the pan. If necessary, add additional cream to the chocolate to achieve desired coating consistency.
   
   
4. Transfer the coated strawberry to the lined sheet and repeat process until all strawberries are coated. Allow the chocolate to cool, then chill the strawberries until the chocolate is set, about 20 to 30 minutes.
   
   
5. Enjoy with chilled champagne in a romantic setting.
