Ingredients
- 30 strawberries
- 14 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 3 tablespoons Crisco
- 6 ounces white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
-
Heat a small pot to low heat and add semi-sweet chocolate with 2 tablespoons Crisco. It is best to use a double-boiler for this, but if you don't have one, be sure to keep the heat low. Stir often until chocolate is melted and smooth.
-
Sprinkle cayenne pepper into chocolate a bit at a time and mix until fully blended.
-
Grip the stem and dip each strawberry into the chocolate and coat each side.
-
Set the chocolate strawberries on wax paper to cool. Refrigerate to speed up the process.
-
Heat a separate small pot to low heat and add white chocolate with 1 tablespoon Crisco. Again, a double boiler is best, but if you don't have one, keep the heat low and stir often until melted and smooth.
-
Hold each strawberry over the white chocolate, and with a small spoon, drizzle white chocolate over the strawberry in a small but steady stream. Be creative with your designs.
-
Set the strawberries on wax paper to cool.
-
Serve!
