Many people look forward to Valentine's Day and expressing their love and one way that is most common is through Chocolate. One of my all time favorite chocolate desserts is Chocolate Molten Cake. For me its all about the warm cake with the oozing of the chocolate in the center. What I've noticed though is that for the lovers, they want the chocolate covered strawberries which are super easy to make. So here's to love even if its just for you! Remember we must love ourselves first before anyone else can truly love us!
Now what I suggest is that you call around to your local farmers market and see if they have available the long stemmed strawberries, which are best for dipping in chocolate. If not no worries, because as you know just the thought of any sweet strawberry will work just fine. However, you must have great chocolate such as Ghiradelli, which is the most common in your local grocery store. If you go to a specialty store such as Fresh Market or Whole Foods you will find a bigger selection. Having a double boiler to melt down the chocolate is best and if you don't have one simply melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over simmering water. Then dip your luscious strawberries in the chocolate and watch it harden into goodness. What I really think is a great idea is for you to have a small fondue pot with the chocolate in it and then you and your guest have the strawberries and maybe some other delectable goodies to dip together and take time to share in the moment. Spending time with people you love is the best thing when you have time to do something as simple as this together, it makes it just that much sweeter. You can do this it's just that easy!
