Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries Coated with Hazelnuts

[Guest guest]

I think I will make this too, except I need to cut down on the fat by using

just a few nuts. And I don't want to buy this liqueur since we don't

especially care for it, so will substitute something else. I do have some

Grand Marnier which I think I've used with strawberries before. kathleen
