Wash berries and leave tops on. Dry the berries with paper towels, making
sure the berries are dry. This is important. If dipping chocolate is not
available; in a heavy saucepan or double boiler, combine one cup of
semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 T light corn syrup and 5 T butter. Heat over
low heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Dip each berry in the
chocolate, covering about 2/3 of the berry. Set aside to harden on a piece
of waxed paper. Cool in refrigerator if necessary. Melt chocolate a
second time and dip each berry, again covering about 2/3 of the berry. Cool
in refrigerator until ready to serve. Top a dish of vanilla ice cream with
a few chilled berries and you have an elegant dessert.
