Who doesn’t love chocolate covered strawberries? These are the perfect romantic treats to make for your special someone and they’re ready in minutes! All you’ll need is some fresh strawberries and your favorite chocolate.

P.S. Adding a touch of coconut oil to your chocolate when melting it can make it act as a better shell around the strawberry!
