Remove stems from strawberries; cut a deep "X" in the tip of each berry. Gently spread berries open.

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and extract until light and fluffy. Pipe or spoon about 2 teaspoons into each berry; sprinkle with chocolate. Chill until serving. Yield: 3 dozen.
