Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

If you read my other blog http://madysmommysblog.blogspot.com/ I told how my husband had to leave for two weeks starting on Easter and so I didn't make the big meal I wanted to, but I made Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake for breakfast. I also said the recipe was on here. I'm just now getting around to actually doing that! It's from Bisquick. Here it is:

It makes six, so I cut it in half so we each had one and no extra since he was leaving. 

1 quart (4 cups) fresh strawberries, sliced

(I used frozen (thawed) strawberries)

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups Original Bisquick mix

1/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa

2 tablespoons sugar

2/3 cup milk

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

(I used regular size)

1 1/2 cups frozen (thawed) whipped topping. 

1. In medium bowl, toss strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar until coated. Let stand 1 hour. (As I used frozen, I left mine in the fridge overnight the night before.)

2. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, cocoa, 2 tablespoons sugar, the milk and butter until soft dough forms. (Chris didn't think there was enough sugar, so I will add a bit more next time.) Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by about 1/3 cupfuls onto cookie sheet, forming 6 shortcakes.

3. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until tops of shortcakes appear dry and cracked. Cool 15 minutes. Using a serrated knife, split warm shortcakes. Fill and top with strawberries and whipped topping. 

There you go! An easy, yummy, sugar filled start to your day...or a dessert as my husband said, "Dessert for breakfast?"
