 Categories: Valentines, Chocolate
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      1 pt Strawberries; washed and
           -patted dry
      1 oz Semi sweet chocolate
  1 1/2 tb Butter
      1 tb Corn syrup
      1 tb Rum; (optional)
 
  1. In a double boiler over hot, not boiling water, combine chocolate,
  butter, corn syrup and rum.
  
  2. Heat until chocolate is melted, stirring mixture until smooth.
  Remove from heat.
  
  3. Dip each berry into the chocolate, coating about 2/3 of it. Hold
  above the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  
  4. Place the berry on waxed paper to harden. When cooled, refrigerate
  for about 20 minutes.
  
  Make Ahead: You may make these a day or two ahead, store in a covered
  container in the refrigerator but they taste best if served within a
  few hours of coating.
  
  Something special? Want to add a little more pizzaz to plain
  strawberries? Grab a syringe or flavor injector, fill it with Grand
  Marnier and inject a small amount of the delicious liqueur into the
  center of the fruit.
  
  Something spectacular! Twice dip the strawberries! Melt 1 oz. of white
  chocolate. After dipping the berry in semi-sweet chocolate (coating
  about 2/3 of the berry), let it set, then dip the same berry in
  melted white chocolate, coating about 1/3 of the berry. For the best
  visual effect, you want to leave some of the semisweet chocolate
  visible.
  
  Notes: Chocolate Kissed Strawberries are so simple, elegant and
  satisfying. Feed them to your lover in whatever style suits your
  mood. Select berries with a strong red color, green hulls and a
  fragrant strawberry scent. Avoid blemished berries or scentless ones.
