Chocolate + Strawberries

One thing that me and my sister love to make are chocolate covered strawberries. We usually melt chocolate chips in the microwave or dip them in chocolate syrup and eat them just like that. Simple, but tasty. I personally enjoy having those chocolate covered strawberries or fruits covered in chocolate. I got into eating this when my aunt brought one of those chocolate fountains to a family party. We began dipping marsh mellows in them, and also strawberries. And let me tell you, they are absolutely delicious!
Even though they have a little bit of chocolate on them, they still are healthier then a bag of chips, well I think they are. Look at it this way: a raw strawberry has about 6 calories and a bag of chips has 150 calories. Even if you add chocolate to the strawberries, the calories are about the same depending on how many you eat and how much chocolate you put on them. But with strawberries, you get those good, natural, fruit vitamins that you need compared to chips. Even though chips are good, I think I would rather have chocolate covered strawberries or bananas.

  1. This is really interesting, especially the part where you say they are actually pretty healthy. I am sure in the mood now for some strawberries and chocolate even though I am not a chocolate person.
