Dark Chocolate Strawberry Bites with Graham Cracker & Cream Cheese Filling

Directions

• Rinse strawberries, cut off the green tops, and hull out the center using a small paring knife.
• Pour graham cracker crumbs onto a plate.
• In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.  Stir until smooth.
• Spoon the cream cheese mixture in a plastic baggie and push contents into a corner of the bag.  With a pair of scissors clip the corner of the bag.
• In a separate bowl, melt the dark chocolate morsels in the microwave for approximately 1 minute.  It is best to melt in 30 second incriminates stirring each time.
• Set up an assembly line: 1) pipe the cream cheese mixture into the center of a strawberry.  2) dunk the closed end of the strawberry into the melted dark chocolate. 3) immediately roll into the graham cracker crumbs.
• Store the berries in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• A good idea for easy handling is to place individual berries in a muffin wrapper.
