These were delicious! I did sub in butter instead of the shortening. They were also so easy. I will say, that I didn't realize that they couldn't be dipped the night before, so by the time it was time to eat them, the chocolate had gotten grainy (I think the strawberries were letting out juice). However, as easy as they are to make, the next time I serve these (and there will be a next time) I'll just make them right before serving. Thanks, BrendaM!

I had leftover chocolate chips from another Strawberry recipe listed here. They were more adult friendly with coffee liqueur in them. I decided to try this recipe so they had some strawberries to try. Instead of the adding the fat, I added 2 Tablespoon of strong brewed coffee like the other recipe I tried called for plus my children love the flavor of coffee. I liked the idea of using toothpicks to help hold the strawberries while you dipped them in the chocolate. I used a double boiler to melt the chocolate and then added the brewed coffee. I couldnit put the chocolate covered strawberries into the styrofoam without touching the tips. Instead, I placed them on wax paper to dry.

These were so good. I made them for a bridal shower and they were a huge hit. I had so many requests for this recipe. After reading the other reviews I might try them with bananas the next time. Thanks Brenda M for posting this.
