For the chocolate-covered strawberries:
Ingredients
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- vegetable shortening
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Pour chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl, add a small amount of shortening, and microwave in 30-second intervals until chocolate chips are melted (stir the chocolate chips each time you check). Carefully dip each strawberry in the melted chocolate, and place on cookie sheet covered in wax paper to cool. You may refrigerate/freeze the strawberries for faster drying time.
In addition to the strawberries, I lined both the bottom and top layers with mini-marshmallows and chocolate chips along the bottom. I also used crushed Oreo cookies and sprinkled it across the top layer. Lastly, I drizzled some melted (but cooled) chocolate across the cake to give it a nice finishing touch.
