Happy Valentines Day! I wanted to make a fun and simple dessert for the special occasion of Valentines Day. I actually found a recipe from the foodnetwork.com site, but just decided to wing it on my own. You want to buy one pound of strawberries depending on how many people you want to make them for. If its just the two of you, one box is plenty! Most people like the long stemmed ones for dipping, but let me tell you, they charge about $9 a box at the grocery stores so we went with the cheaper option. They all taste the same anyways right?
-1 cup of ghiradelli dark chocolate chips
-1 cup of ghiradelli white chocolate chips
-Toppings such as: mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, sprinkles, coconut... you name it!
Ok, so you want to melt the chocolate in small glass bowls. Maybe about a minute in the microwave, and then stir. If its not completely melted yet, keep microwaving for 30 second increments. The white chocolate is tricky to melt. If you over do it, it will become chunky and hard so be careful not to over heat it. Dip strawberries in chocolate, holding the stems and then roll into the different toppings as desired. Place onto foil lined baking sheet and store in the fridge so that the chocolate will harden. Enjoy with your sweetheart :)
