Chocolate Covered Strawberries for Your Valentine

Looking for a beautiful and simple treat to share with your Valentine this month? Try your hand at making this fruit-filled classic!

You’ll need:

Whole strawberries

Chocolate of your choice, though the higher the quality and cocoa content the better

White chocolate for drizzling (optional)

Parchment paper

Toothpicks

Something to pipe chocolate if you want to get fancy

Directions:

1. Rinse and dry the strawberries.

2. Lay out your parchment paper.

3. In a dipping bowl, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir the chocolate so it doesn’t burn.

4. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating on all sides and then transfer the parchment paper. Leave for 15 - 20 minutes until the chocolate is cool and hardened.

5. Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate. Put white chocolate in a piping bag or sandwich bag with the corner cut off.

6. Drizzle the white chocolate over the chocolate covered strawberries. Let the chocolate set completely before serving.

Enjoy!
