Has anyone made tuxedo strawberries? We're going to a wine tasting

[marilynfl]

this weekend and I thought I'd bring them...unless they are a pain to make.

Last year I brought simple dipped strawberries. However, with 30 bottles of wine to be consumed, I'm not sure whether to bother with culinary haute couture.

They're not hard to do, just time consuming...here's how I did it...

Melt the white chocolate first and dip a flat side of the berry into it and let that dry. Then melt the milk or dark chocolate and dip each berry twice at an angle to make the lapels. Once everything is set, go back and pipe on the buttons and bow tie. Just make sure to pat the berries dry before you begin so water doesn't get into the chocolate.

If you don't want to do all that, you could dip the berries in dark chocolate and let set, then artfully drizzle melted white chocolate over them to make a striped pattern. Good luck!

oh, good to know. I thought the whole strawberry needed to be dunked

in the white first.

Thanks, GR!

GeorgiaRose, I meant to thank you for this. They turned out nicely. I'll post photos one day.
