Ingredients
- bittersweet chocolate — (Ghirardelli)4 ounces
- long biscotti — your choice1 unit
- large strawberries (unhulled) — rinsed and dried1 quart
Method
1
Chop the bittersweet chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting. Place the chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl.
2
Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth. Do not overheat.
5 minutes
3
Break or crumble the biscotti into small pieces and finely chop them using a food processor or by hand until you have coarse crumbs.
4
Transfer the biscotti crumbs to a shallow dish or plate, spreading them in an even layer.
5
Holding each strawberry by the stem or leaf, dip the bottom three-quarters of the berry into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip away.
6
Immediately roll the chocolate-coated strawberry in the biscotti crumbs, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere to the chocolate coating.
7
Place each coated strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate, leaving space between berries for the chocolate to set.
8
Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate is completely set and firm before serving.
