CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRIES
A bumper crop of berries turned into a real treat when I dipped them in chocolate! I like to make these chocolate covered strawberries before dinner and put them in the fridge, so they're ready when we're finished eating. My family can't get enough of these chocolate strawberries. -Valerie Gee, Depew, New York

Tips:
- Make sure your strawberries are ripe and fresh. Unripe or overripe strawberries will not taste as good and may be difficult to work with.
- Wash your strawberries thoroughly before dipping them in chocolate. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a high-quality chocolate for dipping. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cupcakes.
- If you are using a chocolate that is not tempered, you can temper it by melting it in a double boiler or in the microwave, then stirring it until it reaches a temperature of 88-90 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Dip the strawberries in the chocolate one at a time, using a fork or toothpick to hold them. Make sure to coat the strawberries completely.
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them set until the chocolate is firm.
- To make the cupcakes, follow the recipe instructions carefully. Be sure to use fresh ingredients and measure them accurately.
- Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing while baking.
- Bake the cupcakes according to the recipe instructions. Once they are done, let them cool completely before frosting them.
- To make the frosting, follow the recipe instructions carefully. Be sure to use fresh cream and butter.
- Frost the cupcakes with the chocolate frosting. You can use a piping bag or simply spread the frosting on with a knife.
- Top the cupcakes with the chocolate-covered strawberries. You can also add other decorations, such as sprinkles or chopped nuts.
