Strawberry Fun

 

This is the product of boredom and a sweet tooth.

I thought that I would post it step by step even though it is one of those things that is pretty basic. :)

My grandmother tired one of them and she loved the one with cream cheese in it.

 

First I got all of my things ready.

Hershey's chocolate bar; Separate the pieces and then cut them in half so they melt easier and put them in a small glass bowl.

Strawberries.

A knife.

Wax paper.

Cream Cheese. (I used Philadelphia.)

A Ziploc bag.

 

Not all supplies pictured here.

 First get your strawberries hollowed out.

 

After getting all the strawberries hollowed out take your cream cheese of choice; and put it in a plastic bag, the sandwich bags work best, but I only had snack bags.

 

 

Use the Ziploc like a pastry bag and fill the strawberries. You can skip this if you want to do the chocolate filled ones, but the cream cheese ones are for chocolate covered strawberries.

 

 

This is how far you should fill the strawberries if your going to.

 



 

Then put your chocolate in the glass bowl and place it in a sauce pan of boiling water. Stir it so it doesn't burn and then remove it from the burner, but keep the chocolate in the water so it doesn't get hard.

 

 

Place the wax paper down. Now here is where I made the mistake. I placed the wax paper on the counter. So when It comes time to chill it, I had to shift it to a tray and they slid. SO put your wax paper ON a tray before you put the strawberries down.

 

 

When You go to do the chocolate filled strawberries, just take a spoon full of it and carefully fill the strawberry. Then let it spill out when you lay it down. Its just a cool visual affect.

 

 

This is after I slid the berries onto a tray. You can see the ones that shifted at the bottom left.

 

 

Then chill it in the fridge for about twenty minutes. I let it sit longer because I did them before I ate dinner. :)

 

 

I enjoyed doing these; and the only thing I think I will do differently is blend some powdered sugar into the cream cheese, so it has a sweeter taste and a lighter texture. I'll let you all know how it goes.

 

Until Next Time.
