Fathers Day and Strawberries

Happy late Fathers Day to all of you dads out there! I have been cooking up a storm these last few weeks and haven't posted anything! Horrible isn't it? So lets talk about strawberries.

My good friend Jordan made these cake stuffed strawberries that are then dipped in chocolate. 

Madness? Absolutely.

Amazing? Yes.

In fact, I am going to go as far to say that you should take everything you know about chocolate covered strawberries and toss it out the window. Those imitators just don't cut it. And these are so easy to make!

Cake Stuffed Strawberries dipped in Chocolate
Recipe inspired by 1fine Cookie

1 cake crumbled- I used a box mix
1 container of fresh strawberries hallowed out
Chocolate for dipping- I used Almond Bark Chocolate, but Wilton's will work as well.
Hallow out the middles of the strawberries, and gently stuff with the crumbled cake around a teaspoon or so. Place the stuffed strawberries in the freezer for 15 minutes, then transfer to the fridge for 15 minutes. While they are in the fridge, melt down the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave stirring often. When all the chocolate is melted (and not scorched!) Gently dip half to 3/4 of the strawberry into the chocolate and place on a cookie sheet covered in parchment or wax paper. There will be some cake left and tons of chocolate so I made cake balls and just added some milk and powdered sugar so that the cake doesn't fall apart, then dipped them in chocolate.
