Chocolate Covered Strawberries - I only have a few weaknesses when it comes to food. I’m addicted to chocolate. And I think that nothing tastes better than a fresh strawberry that almost melts in my mouth. Of course, that leads to my all-time favorite indulgence - chocolate covered strawberries. In my opinion, they can be a tiny piece of heaven. My wedding cake was four tiers of varying flavors and chocolate covered strawberries wrapping themselves down the sides of the cake. Some of the guests were lucky enough to get a piece of cake that had at least one of the chocolate covered strawberries, but I claimed some of my own before the caterers cut the cake for distribution. Maybe that was a bit selfish of me, but I paid for the cake and the extra cost for the chocolate covered strawberries, so I wanted to be sure to enjoy them.
You can easily make your own chocolate covered strawberries, though they never quite taste the same as if you’d order some gourmet ones. There are lots of companies, both on and off the internet, that sell them. It isn’t easy to choose and your mouth will water when you look at the pictures to compare your options. Most of the time, you’ll find that chocolate covered strawberries are not cheap. However, most of the time, they are more than worth the cost. My favorite site to order from is www.berrygourmet.com. They have the most delectable chocolate covered strawberries and other indulgences. I’ve sent some gourmet chocolates and goodies to friends and relatives almost all around the country. Everyone who has received them has loved it and never had any issues with how they arrived or how long it took to receive them. Sending someone chocolate covered strawberries, or anything chocolate, can make someone’s day.
What I wish that I had discovered before I had gotten married, is using chocolate covered strawberries as favors. I found, on the same site, chocolate covered strawberries decorated as if they were wearing tuxedos. I loved the idea of them. They can be put in a little box, or anything, to give to each guest. It would be a very unique and delicious favor that would be more appreciated than most of the traditional favors that most couple choose to give to their guests. I would recommend it to anyone who might love chocolate covered strawberries as much as I do, or just wants something unique and edible for their guests.
I’ve tried different recipes for making my own chocolate covered strawberries and usually the chocolate does turn out well. But, there is just something about ordering them that really makes them taste heavenly.
