Strawberries tucked in warm unsweetened chocolate is a delight and perfect for any occasion! Fruit and chocolate are truly a match made in heaven.
Chocolate relieves stress, fights cancer, lowers blood pressure and stimulates the mind. It is also known to contain serotonin, which helps produce endorphins and acts as an anti-depressant. We are using an unsweetened chocolate bar with 100% cocoa. Now having said that, its time to make a very simple dessert and lift our spirits high this holiday season!
Fruit dipped in chocolate! Whoever thought of that is a sheer culinary genius. The taste of sweet and sour strawberries when paired with chocolate is dramatic. We are going to incorporate the depth of flavor from real chocolate and the dense texture of strawberries for a completely "guilt free" chocolaty experience!
This recipe is extremely simple to make. You can also use some white chocolate and dress it to fit the occasion but that will not make it vegan. Make cute bow ties for a wedding or place a few hearts for valentines day. Or just keep it plain and simple which is also delicious.
Incredibly simple that you will never want to grab a box from a store again. Use good quality chocolate for the best taste! Gift a box to family and friends!
