Ingredients

• strawberries
• toothpicks
• chocolate & vanilla. I always use Almond Bark

Preparation

Step 1

They're very easy to make. Take the stem off of the strawberries, don't cut the stem, just pull it off. Then cut the strawberries in half and lay them flat on a cutting board. Place them together with the pointy bottoms touching. Now, secure them with a toothpick and you have a heart.

It only takes a few minutes to have a bunch put together. Try not to put the toothpick all the way through so you have something to hold on to while you dip the strawberries in the chocolate.

Now let's melt some chocolate. I always use Almond Bark. You can find it at Walmart and it melts fabulously.

Dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate, trying to get the whole strawberry covered.

Once they're dipped, they begin to look like hearts.

Set them on a piece of wax paper to dry completely.

After they've dried, you may need to trim some of the melted chocolate away

Now melt the white chocolate and drizzle on top of the hearts.

All done. They're easy, delicious and beautiful. What a nice way to let your family and friends know you love them
