--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      pt            Strawberries with stems on
                       (preferably a
                       Long-stemmed variety),
                       washed and
                       Patted dry
  4      oz            Semisweet chocolate
  1      tb            Cooking oil

 Spread strawberries on a working surface with wax-paper-covered tray
 nearby. You will also need one or two bamboo skewers or other picks.

 In the top of a double boiler over hot water, melt the chocolate with
 the cooking oil, stirring to mix thoroughly.  (The cooking oil will
 add a beautiful shine to the completed sweet.)  Place melted
 chocolate near working surface, but keep chocolate warm.

 One at a time, insert the skewer in the stem end of a strawberry and
 dip into the chocolate.  Lift out and shake any excess chocolate back
 into the pot.  Place the strawberry on the wax paper and continue
 with the remaining berries.  The strawberries should set for about 10
 minutes before being served.

 Chocolate-dipped strawberries can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours,
 during which time the chocolate will harden.
