Chocolate Covered Strawberries: Perfect for Valentine's Day!

Chocolate covered strawberries are classic Valentine's Day gifts. Whether you're making them for your family, your special someone, or for yourself to enjoy with a larger glass of wine (my personal favorite way to enjoy them), they are quick, easy and so very tasty.

What you'll need: 

- 1lb of large Strawberries with the stems intact

- 1 cup of melting chocolate (semi sweet, milk, or dark)

- 1/4 cup of a different chocolate for the pattern (optional)

What to do: 

- Wash and dry your strawberries, chocolate won't stick well if they're wet. 

- Melt chocolate in a double boiler (or make your own by placing a heat safe bowl on top of a pot of simmering water, make sure it doesn't touch the water and stir the chocolate to a melted and glossy consistency).

- Dip strawberries into the melted chocolate and set aside onto wax or parchment paper, to cool.

- To make the stripes, use a fork or chopstick to drizzle the chocolate over your strawberries. 

- Allow to cool in the refrigerator for about 1.5 hours.

- Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy, perfect with a side of Netflix ;).
