Recipe: Easy Chocolate Box

This recipe came from the newspaper. I did not know there was such a thing as a container of dipping chocolate on the market. I found the following website about it:

EASY CHOCOLATE BOX

1 container (7 ounces) Bakers milk or semisweet dipping chocolate (sold in the baking aisle)
2 whole strawberries
5 milk or dark chocolate bars (about 1 1/2 ounces each)
1 tub (8 ounces) non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
1 box (about 4 ounces) instant pudding mix, any flavor
Wax paper

Melt dipping chocolate according to package directions. Dip strawberries in chocolate and place on wax paper. Refrigerate until needed.

Break 4 chocolate bars in half to make 8 squares. Spread edges with dipping chocolate. On wax paper, press 4 pieces together to form each box. Place in the freezer to harden.

Combine whipped topping and pudding mix, stirring gently. Do not over mix or mousse will be gummy. Transfer chocolate boxes to serving plates. Spoon about 1/2 cup mousse into each box and top with a chocolate-covered strawberry.

Break remaining chocolate bar in half to make 2 squares. Use melted chocolate to affix one half to the top of each box, allowing it to rest on the mouse. Place in freezer for 3 to 5 minutes to harden.

Serve leftover mousse on its own or freeze for later use. Store leftover dipping chocolate in the refrigerator. It can be melted again.

Makes 2 boxes.
