Chocolate Covered Strawberry Hearts Recipes

If I were Maria von Trapp and singing about my favorite things, chocolate strawberries would be near the top of the list. Only I would wish for more chocolate on my strawberries. Once when my daughter was little and we were getting ready to leave church, she came out of her sunday school class with a present for me for Mother’s Day. Her children’s group leaders had prepared a present for the children to give their mothers. In a cute little box, there was a perfect chocolate covered strawberry. She was so excited about that gift because she knew it was something I loved and wanted me to dig into it right away. But first, she wondered, would it be okay if we shared it?

I was feeling good that day and she was so cute, so I said yes. I figured sharing meant she would take a bite while we drove home and leave the rest for me. At home, she presented me the box and said she was all done. I opened the box only to find out she had licked off all the chocolate and left me a naked strawberry! I love her, but ewwww!!!! These Heart Shaped Chocolate Strawberries inspired by 1 Fine Cookie are perfect for sharing with the people you love because you can each have one half of the heart. After washing and thoroughly drying the strawberries, remove the leaves. I tore them off by hand. Next cut the strawberries in half, and slice a little V at the top. Turn the strawberries cut side down and insert a toothpick to hold them together.
