Have you ever turned down a chocolate-covered strawberry? (I’ll answer for you…) I don’t think so! They’re the easiest “fancy” dessert! At least, I’ve always associated them with a fancy treat. When you cover anything in a thick glossy layer of chocolate, you can turn any mundane ingredient into a devilishly decadent delicacy!
