I have a SERIOUS sweet tooth. I probably have a few cavities, but that doesn’t really stop me from picking up some dark chocolate chips and a couple of packs of strawberries. This delicious treat is one of my favorite. I like making them for no special occasion, except that I feel like eating something super tasty.
So, the other day I decided at the grocery store to pick up the necessary ingredients for this tasty treat. I brought the first batch over to the in-laws for dinner, and the next day I made Matt and I a batch. We played Sequence and ate the chocolate covered strawberries. Mmm Mmmm Mmm.
If you are feeling in the mood for some of these I would suggest, in my infinite and experienced wisdom, to buy Ghiradelli 60% cocao bittersweet chips. You can add some Ghiradelli milk chocolate chips, but I like the dark chocolate all by itself. I put the desired amount in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Then I stir until all chips are melted. Dip the (rinsed and dried) strawberries in the chocolate. Then place on wax or parchment paper. I would suggest that you do not use room temperature strawberries. Cold/chilled strawberries cause the chocolate to harden faster (instead of having to put them in the refrigerator). Eat as soon as possible, do no refrigerate for too long (if you have to) as the covered strawberries will sweat a bit and then the chocolate becomes a bit mushy, aka not too tasty or attractive. Just eat them immediately to avoid any mushiness! Enjoy!
Oh. My. Goodness. YUM!
I knew it was you. haha
Your sweet tooth is gonna become a fat tooth if you keep on covering all the fruit in the house with dark chocolate. Husband of the year award? I think it's a little too premature for that, but I'm definitely in the running.
The ONE I got to have was delicious!!
