Show Them You Care...with Homemade Goodies.

Today is Valentine's Day, and for some that means dinner and some flowers, or maybe some candy in a heart shaped box.  For others it means complaining about it on Facebook.  I don't mind Valentine's Day.  Even when I didn't have a Valentine, my dad would give me chocolate, or a carnation.  ON the first Valentine's day Tim and I spent together, he got me chocolate covered strawberries, which I love, and I love making them for any reason.  If you do have a Valentine, or if you want to make these for yourself, go ahead.  They're super easy to make, albeit a little messy, and you'll never want to buy them in a store again.

First, rinse your strawberries.  I got a carton of little ones.  they are usually sweeter, and there's 32 in here. And just $3!


Lay them out to dry, and then it's time to think of the chocolate.  I use two types for dipping and decoration.  Dark.



And white.



Melt each in the microwave for about 2 1/2 minutes.  Once thoroughly melted, commence dipping!



Now it's time for decoration, and let's use the contrast of colors here.



And done!  Takes about 15 minutes, and they are lovely!


Have a Happy Valentine's Day, and enjoy!
