Chocolate Covered Strawberries
March 9th, 2010 | Categories: Food | 11 Comments
I had a sudden craving for fruit when I was grocery shopping last weekend, but I never really did anything with my purchased strawberries. However, while rummaging around in my fridge, I came across the following things:
- Dark chocolate squares used in fondue cooking
- Heavy whipping cream
- The aforementioned strawberries
Of course, being the dessert-a-holic that I am, I decided to combine all these ingredients to make a yummy desert. I set about making chocolate covered strawberries using my double boiler to melt the chocolate and boy, are they delicious! They’re low-maintenance too, as I covered my plates in saran wrap before I set each chocolate dipped strawberry on it before cooling so I don’t even need to scrape the chocolate off the plates when cleaning them.
The best part, though, is that I can justify eating loads of these at once because underneath the chocolate is strawberry… and everyone knows strawberries are healthy!

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
Mmm those strawberries just made me hungry.
That sound so delicious it’s insane. I want.
You know, I’ve never actually had chocolate covered strawberries before. Mind, I’m not a huge chocolate fan either. But if they were white chocolate, I’d be game. :D
White chocolate isn’t really chocolate, you know. It’s made from cocoa butter :P
I didn’t know that! I guess that’s why I like it then, since I don’t really like chocolate that much. :P
yummy, it looks really delicious!
Want.
Mmmm I have strawberries… maybe I should go and do that :P
Mmm, that sounds unbelievably yummy. One of my favorite desserts are chocolate-covered strawberries. All fruits taste so delicious when covered with chocolate. Fondue is just amazing!
I should totally do that when strawberries are a bit more affordable. :D
I can imagine they tasted quite rich what with the dark chocolate and, if very sweet, strawberries. I make up things from different ingredients to, it’s fun (well, unless what you make ends up tasting yucky).
