Does this sound familiar…
kids -(at approximately 7 pm) “Mom, I need to bring treats for our class party.”
Me – “Sure, when is the party?”
kids – “Tomorrow.”
Me – “Of course it is.”
I shouldn’t be surprised, it happens to me all the time.
This is my favorite kind of holiday treat…fast and easy – for those nights the kids spring class parties on you right at bedtime – please tell me I’m not the only one.
We always have strawberries at home, and Ghirardelli chocolate makes anything just that much better. The premium baking chips melt easily, produce a smooth finished product (no extra oil needed), and of course taste delicious. That and a few tooth picks are all you need for a super fun Valentine’s Day treat.
hull and halve berries, arranging side by side to look like a heart, and use the pick to hold them in place
you can dip the berries in to the melted chocolate, but I found the by spooning the chocolate over the berries, the finished heart was more uniform
some I left plain, but some I topped with Ghirardelli white chocolate
Ingredients
- 10 ounce bag of Ghirardelli Bittersweet baking chips
- Ghirardelli white baking melts {optional}
- strawberries
Instructions
- hull and halve berries
- shape into hearts and secure with tooth picks
- melt the chocolate
- dip berries in chocolate, or spoon the chocolate over the berries
- chill to harden
- once the chocolate has hardened, you can melt and drizzle with the white chocolate
**remove the tooth picks before the chocolate hardens {they come out MUCH easier with the chocolate still warm…trust me}
Let’s face it, Valentine’s day is ALL about the chocolate, and these hearts are a fun twist on a holiday classic.
plus, it’s fruit, so you can eat as many as you want
