Chocolate-Filled Strawberries

Anyone else seen all the variations of cream-filled strawberries floating around Pinterest? I mean, they're strawberries. And cream. What's not to love?

And what's better than cream-filled strawberries? CHOCOLATE filled strawberries!
Simple to make and beautiful to serve.  You'll need:
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 can prepackaged chocolate frosting, i.e. Duncan Hines
  • Piping bag and 1M star tip (or other open star piping tip)
Prep is seriously a snap.
  • Wash and dry strawberries.
  • Cut off green stem so that berry will stand flat on it's end.
  • Starting at the narrow end of the berry, slice in half vertically nearly all the way through. Then, make another slice perpendicular to the first, almost all the way through.
    • You should end up with four quarters of a strawberry, just held together at the (former) stem end.  It will open up like petals on a flower.
  • Outfit piping bag with tip and fill with chocolate frosting.
  • Pipe each strawberry with as much frosting as will fit. : )
  • Eat.  Repeat.
Store in the fridge... that is, if you have more willpower than I and happen to have any left over!
