Chocolate Covered Strawberries Topped with Toffee

Ingredients

1 small package of strawberries (or as many as you can eat)
1 cup Semi-Sweet chocolate chips- or get adventurous with dark/white chocolate
1 package of toffee bits- usually found right new to the chocolate chips at the store
1 Tbsp. of EVOO- Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
A cookie sheet lined with Parchment paper or Wax paper

The Process

1. In a small sauce pan combine EVOO and chocolate chips. Melt the EVOO covered chocolate chips on a very low heat stirring often. This will prevent your chocolate from burning.
 

2. Once the chocolate chips appear to be completely melted remove from the heat and spoon the chocolate to one side of the pan. While holding the handle of the pan grab one strawberry by the green and dip it into the chocolate as seen below. (I like to dip mine a few times for an extra chocolaty treat)

3.  Go directly over to your plate of toffee and place one side into the toffee. While keeping that side on the plate, turn your wrist as far as possible to cover about half of the strawberry. I like to leave at least ¼ of it without toffee so it lies on the parchment paper nicely.

4. Once the strawberry is covered place the side with no toffee on the parchment paper and continue the process with all of your strawberries. Remember to stir the chocolate mixture occasionally so it does not start to harden.

 

5. After the process has been repeated on all of the strawberries, place them in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate appears to have hardened.


6. Enjoy!
