Chocolate Coated Strawberry Recipe

This is another recipe that my friend Margaret gave me to make when having a dinner party. I love to serve them up on the same platter that I put her chocolated coated macadamia recipe on. This is just so simple to make and always looks and tastes wonderful.

INGREDIENTS:

30g (1 oz) copha
250g dark cooking chocolate
2 punnets of strawberries (don't use the really large ones)

METHOD:

Melt copha and chocolate together in a small saucepan, over the top of a pan of simmering water. Do not allow any water or steam to get into the chocolate.
Wash strawberries and dry on paper towels.
Dip the strawberries into chocolate and set on a tray, lined with baking paper.
Place in the refrigerator until set.
These are at their best if served the same day of making them.

Chocolate Macadamias Recipe

A friend who used to do quite a bit of entertaining used to come up with some wonderful recipes, especially finger foods, including delightful chocolate recipes. She shared several of her favourite ones with me and this is one of them. This is just so easy to make and they taste divine. Next time you are having guests over for dinner, try these and I know they will love you for it.

INGREDIENTS:

270g dark cooking chocolate
230g macadamia nuts
1/2 cup shredded coconut

METHOD:

Roughly chop nuts. Add to bowl with the coconut.
Melt chocolate in saucepan over the top of a pan of simmering water. Do not allow any water or steam to come into contact with the chocolate or it will ruin it.
Pour melted choclate over nuts and coconut and mix together until well combined.
Place heaped teaspoons of mixture onto a try lined with baking paper.
Place in the refrigerator until set.
Can store in an airtight container for several days in the fridge.
