-stems
8 oz Ghirardelli Sweet Chocolate

Instructions:
DIRECTIONS: Carefully rinse strawberries. Using paper towels, dry berries

and reserve. Break remaining sections into double boiler over 1" simmering
water. Stir constantly until melted and smooth. (Do not overheat.) Remove
pan of chocolate. Add reserved finely chopped chocolate, stirring until

stirred. Hold each strawberry by stem or a fork. Tilt the pan and use a
spoon to coat each berry with chocolate. Hold each berry upside down to
catch drips. Place in fluted foil cupcake liners or on pan covered with
plastic wrap. Chill until firm or freeze a few minutes to serve
