Lavender Lynn's DD here. I slaved over the stove for these all last night for the sake of bribing my fellow drama club members [from my school] to vote for me for the position of chef. Today, I WON! Everyone was very fond of them. I actually used a double boiler to melt them, and I used white baking chocolate instead of wafers because my grocer didn't carry them. >:[ But still, decadent and delicious. Thank you!

My DD made these strawberries for a 4th of July picnic and they went quickly. She used white chocolate chips instead of the wafers and refrigerated overnight. The only problem was the chocolate pulled away from the strawberries so I would not recommend leaving them in the fridge for a long period of time. So pretty and tastes so very good!
