Strawberry Tuxedos

Sunday, February 22, 2009

Hooray for February! One of the special treats I made for EC for V-Day were these little guys. However, I think they may have been more for me than for him, since I have been dying to try them out ever since I saw them here. Something happened to the stems during dipping and they got all dried out and weird, but they were sure tasty. But then again, it is chocolate and strawberries, it is really hard to go wrong with just two ingredients.

Strawberry Tuxedo

As seen on Cafe Fernando

Ingredients:
15 strawberries
3 ounces bitter chocolate
3 ounces white chocolate
Method
Chop chocolates and place in separate bowls. Place these bowls over a pot of barely simmering water and let stand until melted. Stir until smooth and let cool a little bit. Dip one side of the strawberries in white chocolate and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Dip sides of the strawberries in bitter chocolate. Back to the refrigerator for 10 more minute. Dip a thin paint brush in bitter chocolate and draw the bow tie and buttons.
