[Food Gardening Network Preview]( October 20, 2023  [Have you ever treated yourself and eaten strawberries this way?]( Juicy strawberries and creamy milk chocolate—what could be better after a hard day’s work in the garden? [Tomato] Dear Gardener, Do you want to know a secret? [Chocolate-Covered Strawberries]( are an iconic part of Valentines’ Day, but there’s nothing stopping you from whipping up these bite-sized treats for your own enjoyment, any time of the year! There’s really nothing stopping you from dipping strawberries in chocolate whenever you want—this particular dessert just became intrinsically linked to the love-themed holiday. Why? Strawberries have a history dating all the way back to Ancient Rome, where they were seen as a symbol of the goddess of love. Legend has it that two people who split a strawberry will fall in love! I can just imagine why—the little heart-shaped fruits pack a ton of sweetness. Incidentally, that’s also why they taste so good when you dip them in chocolate. The bright, tart flavor of the strawberry gets perfectly mellowed out by the creamy, rich chocolate. Whenever I get big, juicy, picture-perfect strawberries, this is my favorite way to use them. Other than the strawberries, you just need several ounces of milk chocolate chips and a few teaspoons of shortening to help the coating solidify. These Chocolate-Covered Strawberries are an irresistible bite-sized delight you can prepare in just fifteen minutes. Using toothpicks to dip the strawberries will minimize mess and also allow for easy cooling—just place them on a sheet of waxed paper. These strawberries make an excellent gift for any occasion, including birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or whenever you have a new batch of strawberries. Treat yourself or someone you love to this delightful dessert when you try our Chocolate-Covered Strawberries recipe now!
