Cookies and Creme Strawberries

5 In a large bowl, combine strawberries, water, vinegar, and baking soda. Mix for 2–3 minutes, then strain and pat dry.
6 Insert a toothpick into the crown of each strawberry and arrange them on a baking pan. Set aside.
7 In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine shortening and cookies & creme chocolate. Melt in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth.
8 Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, then place on a parchment-lined baking pan.
9 Freeze for 10 minutes. If you have leftover chocolate, repeat the dipping and freezing process.
10 Transfer strawberries to a serving dish, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and enjoy!
