Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Did you know making chocolate covered strawberries is actually really easy. You don’t need fancy blocks of chocolate you just need milk chocolate chips, a microwave & some strawberries.

If you haven’t gotten a Valentine’s Day gift for your significant other, consider this your gift. Head to the store and grab those 2 ingredients and make them these strawberries. They’ll love them & you for thinking outside of the boxes and making them yourself rather, than ordering them.

These are the perfect treat, I love the sweetness of the chocolate mixed with the delicious berry taste. It’s the perfect combo.




Nestle Chocolate chips are my favorite to use!


I decided to get a little fancy and drizzle some white chocolate over the top, you don’t have to do this. You could use sprinkles or leave them plain. Any way you make them they’ll be tasty!
