Chocolate Covered Strawberries...Easy Dip With Frosting

What do you get when you cross strawberries and a can of left over frosting you have in your refrigerator?

Yum!!!

I've been eating these strawberries fresh out of the box, but I needed that little chocolate fix today!

I saw this half empty frosting container in the refrigerator and thought...hmmm, let's see if this works.

One spoonful in a glass dish.

Microwave for 15 seconds more or less according to how much frosting you are using.

Ready to dip!!

You can eat them warm after the first dip...

or you can refrigerate for a little bit and thicken up the frosting. They won't be like the harder coating if you used melted chocolate chips, but still delicious.

I was also making waffles for hubby for breakfast night and thought...why not!!

I think the dipping possibilities are endless.

Have a great day,

  1. Thank you for sharing! I never go through a whole can of frosting. As a matter of fact, I still have half of a vanilla one in the fridge right now. Going to have to try this!

  6. I use the German chocolate and the plain chocolate icing for my brownies. You will never go back to plain brownies again. Dipping strawberries and pretzels in the icing can only mean big trouble! Can't wait. Thanks.

  7. Were you peeking in our windows yesterday? :) DS (age 11) came up with the idea to put chocolate frosting on his strawberries, but didn't do the microwave thing. If I remember right he might have thought about it though.

  8. I laughed out loud when I read breakfast night my husband and I quite often have bacon and eggs or crumpets for tea and call it night breakfast. Its fun and some times all that is in the fridge if neither of us has got to the shops
