There are many ways to celebrate Valentines Day. Some like to go out for a special evening, others have a night in with loved ones or a group of friends. We vote for a night in and spending the evening cooking. A quick and easy dessert to make is chocolate dipped strawberries. We produce them every year, so if you’re not culinarily inclined you can pick up a box (and pretend you cooked) or order online.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 box of fresh large strawberries, rinsed and dried
- 1 bag dark chocolate chips
- optional toppings white chocolate
PREPARATION
- place a heat safe glass bowl, on top of a pot of water (bowl should sit halfway into pot)
- fill the pot with water and place the chocolate chips in the glass bowl
- bring the water to a boil while stirring the chocolate chips occasionally
- once the chocolate is completely melted, turn off the heat and dip the strawberries into the melted chocolate
- set strawberries aside on baking sheet
- if adding toppings add while chocolate is still soft
- to make chocolate stripes, melt the white chocolate, drizzle with spoon
- refrigerateor set aside until serving
