• Cut slits 1 inch (2 cm) apart on both ends of the pastry, leaving the middle section untouched.
• Spread half of the chocolate spread and sliced strawberries on the center third.
• Starting at one end, fold the pastry strips over the chocolate/strawberry mixture, alternating sides until mixture is completely covered.
• Repeat for second half of puff pastry.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes.

• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Add 1/8 C of the sugar to the strawberries and let stand while combining other ingredients.
• Beat the remaining sugar, eggs, oil, and yogurt together.
• Stir in the pistachio nuts - I ground mine almost to a powder in the food processor.
• Sift together the flour, soda, salt and cinnamon and stir into the sugar mixture.
• Stir in the vanilla, dates and the standing strawberries with any juice.
• Lastly, stir in the melted chocolate.
• Pour the mixture into a loaf pan sprayed with non-stick spray.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Mix bananas, strawberries, both sugars, oil, chocolate chips, and eggs together in a medium bowl. Add to flour mixture and mix until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients in large bowl.
• Form hole in middle. Mix eggs and oil and pour in hole.
• Add berries and mix by hand. Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf tins and bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/4 hours, or until done.
• Cool before cutting. Great with cream cheese. Bread may be frozen.

Steps:

• Place chocolate in a bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally, until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. One at a time, dip each strawberry in chocolate, twirling to coat; then sprinkle chocolate-covered portion with pistachios, if using, and place on waxed paper.
• Chill chocolate-dipped strawberries at least 15 minutes to set chocolate. (Strawberries should not be stored in refrigerator longer than 1 hour as condensation drops may collect on the chocolate.)
