Introduction: Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shot Glasses

By

Nothing says "I Love You" quite like alcohol served up in an edible shot glass.  And when that edible shot glass is made out of a chocolate covered strawberry, you know your sweetie will swoon.  Or maybe that's just them passing out from the booze, but either way they'll love it! 

Here's how to make them: 

- Try to choose strawberries as big as you can find and rinse and dry them really well.  
- Cut the point of the strawberry off so they can stand on their own, the melted chocolate helps form a little base too which makes them even more stable.
- Hull out the strawberries using a paring knife and grapefruit spoon, you have to be careful not to make them too thin or they’ll break (nothing a little melted chocolate can’t help mend!). Don’t forget to make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping in chocolate.
- Melt chocolate according to the package's instructions, and transfer to a deep bowl or measuring cup for dipping.  Dip the bottoms of each strawberry in the chocolate and set upright on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet.  
- Freeze the dipped strawberry cups for maximum sturdiness, about 20 minutes.
- Fill with whatever alcoholic concoction you desire - I did a mixture of vanilla vodka, Godiva liquor, and chocolate syrup.
- Let the strawberries thaw for a few minutes before serving so no one breaks any teeth.  
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkles for an extra special touch, and enjoy!
