Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Chocolate covered strawberries are so simple to make. And they make great gifts or garnishes for cakes, brownies, cupcakes etc. I wanted to share the process I used for making chocolate covered strawberries since Valentine’s Day is coming up soon.

Don’t forget – I’m offering a chance to win a cute tote if you donate $5 or more to my Avon Walk by the end of January. See details here.

    Congrats on your first “real” yule log. I wasn’t crazy about the buttercream either, though I did like the coffee flavor!

    I went for raspberry inside too – and agree that chocolate frosting would be tastier. Good job!

    Very pretty! I thought this one was harder than the “Buche” I made in French class too.

    Job well done. I made it with chocolate buttercream and I think it would have gone lovely with raspberry.

    I love the idea of the raspberry filling with the coffee buttercream. That must have tasted incredible.

    As worldly as I thought I was at the time, I never could have attempted anything this complex in high school. You did a great job with your… it looks luscious!

    I hope you had a joyous holiday, and that 2008 brings you health and happiness, laughter and love.
