Things you will need:

1 lb. fresh strawberries 8 oz. Semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips 6 oz. White chocolate chips 4 tsp. canola oil Wax Paper Cookie Sheet Toothpicks 2 microwaveable bowls Rinse off strawberries in cool water and pat dry.  Cover bottom of cookie sheet with wax paper. Place white chocolate chips in a medium bowl.  Add 2 tsp. canola oil.  Microwave at 70% power for 1 minute.  Stir and microwave at 10-15 minute intervals until melted. Dip strawberries into white chocolate all the way up to the leaves.  Place on wax paper and let set 10-15 minutes. Microwave chocolate as above.  Dip the strawberry on it’s sides, one at a time leaving a “V” of visible white chocolate in the middle return to wax paper. Take a toothpick and carefully dot chocolate onto the white chocolate “V” to form a bow tie and buttons. Chill for 2 hours or until set.

If you are from New Jersey or New York you will love this recipe for "crumb buns".  We would get them every Sunday from the local bakery (now closed).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray 8 x 8 baking pan with nonstick spray.  Set aside.  In a medium bowl, sift together 1-1/2 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.  In a second bowl, whisk together egg, milk, canola oil and vanilla.  Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture.

Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.  In a medium bowl, combining remaining 2-1/2 cups flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Pour melted butter over flour mixture and toss together until large crumbs form.  Sprinkle crumbs over batter.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.  Dust liberally with confectioner's sugar.  Cut into squares.
