Impress the mom-in-law dessert shish kabobs - Pinterest Success

Want to impress the mom-in-law without out much effort at all?  Here's your answer.  It really looks like you've spent 3 hours in the kitchen when, in reality, it takes like a 1/2 hour - L.O.V.E!







Ingredients:
1 Box Angel Food cake mix
Strawberries
Shish kabobs sticks
1 package chocolate peanut butter chips
Wax paper

Directions:
Make cake as directed on the box

Prepare strawberries (if you can't figure this part out...don't stab yourself with the sticks in the next section)

Layer strawberries and cake on the sticks and then set flat on a baking sheet lined with wax paper

To melt the chocolate peanut butter chips fill a saucepan with hot water. You want enough water to provide heat, but the bottom of the chocolate bowl should not touch the water. Heat the saucepan over low heat until it begins to simmer, then turn off the stove and place the chocolate bowl over the water. Let the chocolate begin to melt, and then stir it gently with a plastic spatula. When almost all of the chocolate is melted, life the top bowl from the saucepan and set it on the counter. Stir continuously until it is shiny, smooth, and completely melted. *See tips below.

Once chocolate is melted use a whisk dipped in the chocolate to sprinkle over the shish kabobs.  This will make a bit of a mess but who in their right mind is opposed to licking chocolate off the counters??

Set in refrigerator and allow to cool for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. ENJOY!

Not a great picture but believe me, they look great once they've been moved to a nice tray

Word of caution - when licking the remaining chocolate out of the sauce pan MAKE SURE IT'S COOL!!  Not that I've done this...just for people that might want to do this.

*Tips for melting chocolate:
Avoid all contact with water! Chocolate will seize and become unworkable if it comes into contact with even a few droplets of water. Make sure your bowls, workstation, and spatulas are completely dry.
Melt the chocolate slowly over low heat.  It will become lumpy or grainy if overheated.
Stir the chocolate frequently with a rubber spatula, once the outer edges start to melt.
