Happy Valentine’s Day! Nothing says Valentine’s Day more than chocolate covered strawberries! Well, maybe red roses? I would still rather have strawberries! These chocolate covered strawberries are so easy I almost hate to call it a recipe. All you need is chocolate and some strawberries. Literally.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries are a tradition in our house for Valentine’s Day! I always make them for my kids teachers – current and past- and the office staff. As a matter of fact, they’ve come to expect it. I even got a text this morning from one of my sons’ former teachers and she told me it might be here favorite tradition ever! I always make enough of these to keep some for our family to have for dessert on Valentine’s Day. Today, I put one in each of my kids’ lunchboxes. I just pop a few into a cellophane bag and tie it with a cute ribbon.
This year I was so excited to find long stemmed strawberries. I think the grocery stores only carry these around Valentine’s Day. It made them look extra fancy.
The one tip I have is to make sure your berries are completely dry. You do not want any moisture getting between the strawberry and the chocolate. The chocolate won’t stick to the strawberry as well and will form some moisture drops.
Make these for all of your Valentines today! Happy Valentine’s Day!
