Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! What is better on Valentine's Day than chocolate dipped strawberries? They're super easy to make, cheaper than buying already dipped, and oh so romantic looking ;)

There is no recipe but here are some great ideas for what to dip those strawberries in!

*dip in white chocolate then roll in brown sugar -it may sound weird but it's SO good
*dip in dark/milk/white chocolate then sprinkle with decorating sugar
*dip in milk chocolate then drizzle with dark and/or white chocolate
*dip in dark chocolate then sprinkle with coconut (toasted or not)
*dip in plain old dark or milk chocolate -sometimes the simpler the better
*dip in dark chocolate, wait for it to harden, then dip in milk/white chocolate for a pretty layered look

Definitely melt your chocolate gently or it'll burn. You can use a double boiler, a glass pan in the oven (on the lowest temp), or the microwave. Take it SLOW if you use the the microwave; stop to mix it every 10-30 seconds depending on how melted it is (don't use plastic). If you don't have a pastry bag and tips, just snip off a very tiny bit of the corner on a plastic bag and pipe away.

Use whatever chocolate you like best or use them all! Most importantly, have fun!
