Patriotic Strawberries
Patriotic Strawberries
Ingredients
1 pint fresh strawberries (approx 12 oz)
4-oz white chocolate
Blue sanding sugar or sprinkles
Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet or cutting board with wax paper or parchment paper.
2. Chop up the chocolate roughly with a knife if it is in block form. In a medium-sized, microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave. Heat it in 45 or 60-second intervals, stirring between each time to ensure that the chocolate is melting evenly and not burning. Meanwhile, place blue sanding sugar into a small bowl and set it aside.
When chocolate is smooth, dip the berries 3/4 of the way into the chocolate, dip the tips into the blue sprinkles, and place on wax paper.
3. Berries can set at room temperature if you live somewhere cool, otherwise refrigerate them until ready to serve to allow the chocolate to set up.
*Chef’s Tip: Store the berries in the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat them, as white chocolate is a little more heat-sensitive than other chocolates. The berries are best eaten within a day or two of being made.

Death By Chocolate Trifle
Today I decided to re-visit a Porter House Original, Death By Chocolate Trifle. This recipe came about during a time when we were in transition of moving and had to live in a hotel. We had no kitchen, very little monies and a serious hankering for something sweet. Within a blink of an eye the thought process began. What can I fix that didn’t require a kitchen? That didn’t cost a lot? And would fill the void? Then the vision appeared and Death by Chocolate Trifle was born into existence. Now the traditional trifle consist of some sort of chocolate cake or brownies but with no kitchen that was out of the question and then I had an Aah Ha! moment. The light bulb went off. How about Oreos? And there you have it my friends something simple, cost efficient but yet Sooo Good! I just love when a plan comes together.
Death By Chocolate Trifle
