Ingredients
12-15 hulled strawberries
8 oz semisweet chocolate
16 oz vegetable oil
Wooden skewers
2 cups your favorite pancake or waffle mix and the ingredients it calls for.
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1
Skewer the strawberries and lay on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
STEP 2
Microwave the semisweet chocolate in increments of 15 seconds, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted.
STEP 3
Carefully dip the strawberries into the melted chocolate and return to the parchment paper. Place them back in the freezer for 15 minutes.
STEP 4
Drizzle 4-6 inches of oil in a pot and let it heat up to 330°F (amount may vary depending on pot being used).
STEP 5
While waiting for oil to heat up, mix together pancake mix. If the batter is too thin, add more dry mix.
STEP 6
Dip the hardened chocolate-covered strawberries into the pancake batter, creating a thick coat.
STEP 7
Carefully place them into the oil for about 1 minute or until golden brown. Remove using tongs and lay on a plate covered in paper towels.
