Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Hmmm…it’s the beginning of strawberry season, and I could eat them by the bucket. Though what I really always crave for, is chocolate covered strawberries! I usually get them at food festivals or carnevals, but that isn’t an option at the time of Covid-19, so I did a trial run to come up with this…
