Martha F-ing Stuart? I think not! But I tried to be and soon to be discovered that I failed miserably. Friday was my party night (will post that in a few days when I get pictures together from Angela and Erin). So I decided to attempt to make chocolate covered strawberries. First I go to the store and buy all the things I needed. But the store had a horrible and I mean a horrible selection of strawberries. So I decided to do cherries, YUM! So here my attempt…
12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate morsels melted (I used the microwave for one minute)
Âľ cup of half and half
3-4 tablespoons of Brandy (optional)
And one big bag of cherries or strawberries
Here are the ingredients, minus the cherries

My cherries dipped in chocolate, should have stopped here

Here is when I went from being a possible candidate as guest on the Martha show to WTF were you thinking. I decided that since I had some bananas and whipped cream to add them to my plate. Now had I been serving this right away I’m sure it wouldn’t have been such a failure, but I wasn’t. I should have known that the bananas would go a lil funky from sitting in the fridge and I should have known the whipped cream would melt. But also knew that I would have forgotten to take the pictures of it all before serving had a waited.
I had put whipped cream on it and placed it in the freezer to get the chocolate to harden quicker and attempt to keep the whipped cream in it’s place. But five minutes later I realized I forgot to take a picture of it. So ran into the kitchen to get it out and snap away. Well the whipped cream had already melted a little so I had to place more on it for the picture. As you can see I messed up with the freaking whipped cream and obviously I have no perfection skills…
