Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

What is there not to love about them?

They make such elegant little additions to any party or when entertaining and they couldn’t be any easier to make if you tried! I guess that’s why I make chocolate covered strawberries as often as possible!

For my chocolate covered strawberries, I like to use absolutely the best tasting, juiciest, most delicious strawberries. It makes all the difference in the final result to me.

If you are only making a few chocolate covered strawberries to enjoy or for a small party, you can simply use the microwave or cooktop for melting your chocolate for dipping the strawberries.

But, if you are making a large quantity, I recommend using a fondue pot to make it easier on yourself. The fondue pot keeps the chocolate at the perfect temperature for dipping the strawberries so that you aren’t constantly heating and reheating the chocolate as you work.

Game changer for a routine chocolate dipper like me. Ha!

Here’s my Chocolate Covered Strawberries recipe. I know you’ll love them!
