HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! Today while shopping at the grocery store I came across some beautiful organic strawberries from Florida. They were plump and bright red, not pink, like those that are shipped across the country to South Carolina from California. I was not planning on buying strawberries, but it being Valentine’s Day, I thought why not bring them home and give them a dip in chocolate!

I melted 73% Bittersweet Chocolate discs in a double boiler. Holding the strawberry by its leafy green stem, I carefully dipped each strawberry to coat all sides and placed each on a parchment lined tray, allowing the coating to harden at room temperature.

And so, for Valentine’s Day, some lovely chocolate covered strawberries to share with the ones I love……….
