CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
This is the simplest version of chocolate covered strawberries I know. Paraffin was originally used instead of shortening. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert by the toothpicks into a piece of styrofoam for easy cooling, or simply place them on a sheet of wax paper. White chocolate may be drizzled over the milk chocolate for a fancier look. They are perfect for weddings when decorated with frosting bow ties, bells, butterflies, roses, etc.

Steps:
- 1. Make your cupcakes to package directions using the water, oil, and eggs. Let cool completely before decorating.
- 2. I use a rectangular cupcake pan that makes 8 cupcakes to a pan I measure out 1/3 cup batter per cupcake so they are all uniform.
- 3. While cupcakes are baking, thaw your strawberries, cutting them up smaller. Reserve 2/3 cup juice.
- 4. In a sauce pan, add your strawberry juice, sugar, and cornstarch, stirring to smooth, bring to boil and cook til thickened. Add strawberries and cook a minute more. Remove from heat and stir in kirsch.
- 5. Cover and chill filling.
- 6. To each cupcake, take a sharp knife and level off the rounded tops. You can save those to snack on.
- 7. Put the strawberry cream cheese in a Ziploc bag, cut off the corner to make a piping bag. Pipe all around the outside of the cupcake.
- 8. Put your strawberry filling in the middle of the piped cream cheese, top with a dollop of Cool Whip, and top with a strawberry fan.
