Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 24 Ritz crackers
  • 12 strawberries halved
  • 6 oz dark chocolate chips
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 strawberries finely minced

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Plastic wrap
  • Refrigerator
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Mince the strawberries and toss them with the powdered sugar. Stir and let sit for five minutes.
  2. Add the sweetened minced strawberries to the softened cream cheese and mash together until evenly combined.
  3. Place the strawberry cream cheese mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll it into a compact log, similar in shape to a roll of cookie dough.
  4. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice.
  5. Unwrap the chilled cream cheese log and slice into coin-sized pieces.
  6. Place one cream cheese coin onto each Ritz cracker.
  7. Top each cream cheese coin with half of a strawberry.
  8. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  9. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the assembled bites. Use enough chocolate to help secure the toppings to the Ritz crackers.
  10. Serve immediately for a softer bite or refrigerate until chilled and firm.
  11. Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until completely smooth.
  12. Spoon the melted chocolate generously over each assembled bite, ensuring there is sufficient chocolate to anchor the toppings to the Ritz cracker base.
  13. Enjoy right away for a softer treat, or chill in the refrigerator until set and firm.
