1 box large driscoll strawberries
1 bag(s) hershey's milk chocolate nuggets
2 Tbsp shortening
1 bottle caramel syrup
course kosher salt
your own beautiful serving plate sprayed lightly with cooking spray

Steps:

1. Washer strawberries and place on a rack or some paper towels to dry. It is very important that they are dry.
2. Take your 12 ounces of chocolate and 2 tablespoons of shortening and place in a small pot. Then take another pot of boiling water to put underneath I usually pick a pot that is smaller than the one I put the chocolate in. Once the water starts boiling I put the pot with the chocolate on top and I start stirring until I get a really nice smooth consistency.
3. Then I usually take a wooden skewer and I start dipping my strawberries being as careful as I can to pull back to green tops. After I dip them I let the excess drip and I place them on a sheet pan that's got parchment paper already on top of it
4. Once have done that I let them sit for a few minutes and then I take my Caramell syrup and start drizzling diagonally back-and-forth on an angle.
5. Sprinkle a little bit of kosher salt on top afterwards and Voila! I let them sit on the porch and paper until the chocolate is set.
6. I think it's easier to handle the strawberries when I played them on a very pretty - lightly sprayed with cooking spray. I lay them down points out and tops towards the center and I take the last few and pile them in the middle.
