Breakfast In Bed

Good morning everyone! How about breakfast in bed with you and the kids.  Chocolate is a great treat first thing in the morning and you are getting the benefit of the fruit.  An easy suggestion to make this into breakfast:
a basket with fresh buttered toast
sausages cut into pieces that you can use toothpicks for picking up (kids love that)
cubes of cheese
chocolate dipped strawberries
Champagne glasses and non alcohol fruit cider

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries with leaves

Directions

  1. Insert toothpicks into the tops of the strawberries.
  2. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth. Holding them by the toothpicks, dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture.
  3. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into styrofoam for the chocolate to cool.

 Enjoy
