Here's a perfect romantic recipe to make on this Valentine's Day: chocolate-covered strawberries. And it's so easy to make!
Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
10 strawberries1 8oz chocolate bar
Wash strawberries, and dot with paper towels to dry. The strawberries have to be really dry, otherwise the chocolate won't stick to them.
Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for several minutes until melted.
Put a piece of parchment paper on the counter (so the chocolate strawberries don't stick). But if you don't have parchment paper, you can use a piece of foil or a large plate.
Dip strawberries in chocolate, and lay on the parchment paper.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes, so the chocolate hardens. Enjoy!
