16 oz. Girardehli bittersweet chocolate or whatever kind of chocolate you like best!
2 T. shortening
1 lb. fresh strawberries, with leaves left on.
I melt the chocolate in a large coffee mug at 50% power, stirring occasionally until all melted – don’t overcook, but it can be reheated/remelted.
Insert toothpicks into the tops of the strawberries and dip them.
Then turn the strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into the styrofoam until the chocolate cools.
While they are upside down you can drizzle another color or flavor of chocolate over them.
If you wish, using a hypodermic needle (available at a drugstore), inject orange orange flavored Grand Marnier liqueur through the top stem portion of the strawberry (this assumes that you have taken them off the toothpick and uprighted the strawberry…) doh!
