I know, I know, I know. Yet another chocolate dipped something recipe. In my defense these were actually the first. I made and photographed these a couple of weeks ago in preparation for Valentine's Day.
We have young children which means that we don't really go anywhere romantic on Valentine's Day. Actually to be quite honest with you, I really don't care about the whole romantic aspect of V-day, but I love the kid version. I absolutely love making homemade Valentine's for my kids to pass out, pink heart shaped cookies, and (as you can tell) chocolate dipped everything. I think I have enough Valentine's Day themed pins (on pinterest) to last me through my kids and future grand kids!
This Valentine's Day I will be making one of my husband's favorite meals, Spiedinis and mashed potatoes with a side salad and Avocado Cilantro Dressing. For dessert I will be whipping up a batch of these simple beauties. I may twist things up a bit and follow Everyday Maven's advice and soak the strawberries in prosecco before dipping! Doesn't that sound divine!?!? Check out her site here for instructions!
