Chocolate Bark Chocolate Coated Strawberries Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put three-quarters of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Stir in the remaining chocolate until smooth. Spread the chocolate 1/4 inch thick on the prepared baking sheet; top with the freeze-dried strawberries. Chill until set, then break into pieces.

Steps:

• Use baking parchment to line a baking tray, and a second tray or flat plate for your strawberries. In a bowl, gently melt the chocolate in a microwave for 30 secs at a time on Medium until melted, or in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
• Holding the strawberries by the stalk, gently dip each one into the chocolate, just over halfway up. Allow any excess to drip back into the bowl, then lay carefully onto your parchment set.
• Pour the remaining chocolate onto the lined tray and gently tip it until you have a thin sheet. Sprinkle over some crushed biscuits and meringues, and lots of the freeze-dried strawberries. Allow to set completely.
• Once set, break into shards, then lift off from the parchment. If storing, put back on the tray on clean parchment and lay over some cling film, making sure you keep it in a cool, dry place so it doesn't melt.

Steps:

• In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth. Holding them by the toothpicks, dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture.
• Insert toothpicks into the tops of the strawberries.
• Turn the strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into styrofoam for the chocolate to cool.

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, or in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, cook chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth. Holding berries by the stem, dip each one in molten chocolate, about three-quarters of the way to the stem. Place, stem side down, on wire rack and chill in refrigerator until hardened.
