There are times in your life when having a taste of chocolate just isn't an option... You MUST have it. Today could be one of those days so here is a tasty treat that I'm sure you'll enjoy Candied-Almond Chocolate Strawberries.

INGREDIENTS:
60 fresh strawberries (about 2 pounds)
2 cups of honey-roasted almonds
1 package (11-1/2 ounces) of 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips
1/4 cup of butter, cubed
Dash of cayenne pepper

PREPARATION:
Wash the strawberries well and gently pat with paper towels until completely dry. Place the almonds in a food processor; cover and process to desired fineness. Transfer to a shallow bowl; set aside.
In your microwave, melt chocolate chips and butter. Add cayenne and stir until smooth. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate mixture and allow the excess to drip off. Roll the berries in almonds and then place them on waxed paper. Let them stand until set. And of course you must serve them immediately.

A taste delight in every sweet bite.
