DIY Chocolate Covered Strawberry Hearts

I love making chocolate covered strawberries every year. They are my favorite Valentine’s day treat in our house. Actually, when I was pregnant with Isabella it is all I wanted and I didn’t know how simple they were to make. I finally made my own and it became a tradition to make them each year. This year I made them a little bit different. I made chocolate covered strawberry hearts (you can even make them fancy with colored chocolate drizzled over or glittery dust you can eat) but I decided to keep it simple. I think when I make them again they will come out even better looking than this attempt. But the steps are easy and delicious. I will definitely make them again. Before we begin, make sure to pin this to your recipe board.

How to Make DIY Chocolate Covered Strawberry Hearts

What to do:

Gather all your materials.
Wash and Dry your Strawberries.
Pull the leaves off your strawberries.
Cut your strawberry lengthwise.
Cut the top inside of your strawberry in the shape of a v and remove the upper stem area.
Place the two halves in a heart shape.
Stick your toothpick through the two halves creating the heart.
Put about 2 cups of water into your pot.
Bring it to a boil.
Put your chocolate in the glass bowl, place the glass bowl on top of your pot. *TIP* Make sure you lower your heat to a low simmer.
Stir up your chocolate until it is all melted.
Now cover your strawberries by dipping them into the chocolate. You can use the spoon to cover them instead.
