Strawberries in chocolate
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Chocolate-covered strawberries make an excellent dessert that can replace candies or pastries, as they are not only beautiful but also much healthier. They're a perfect choice for a romantic evening, paired with a glass of sparkling or dry wine. These chocolate-covered berries can also be used to decorate cakes and various desserts. Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before serving, otherwise the chocolate may peel off. You can further decorate the chocolate-covered strawberries with white chocolate, sprinkles, or coconut flakes. Serve chilled.
