Chocolate Covered Strawberries Make Great Gifts

Whether it's Christmas, Easter or whatever holiday, sweets always make great gifts. They can successfully go together with a good book or a nice watch. However, as simple as they may seem, sweets can also make good gifts, great gifts or excellent gifts. Let's see how and why. Sweets are good gifts when you know your loved one likes cherry brandy candies, so you get a box. Sweets as great gifts are personalized and harder to find on the market. But what makes sweets excellent gifts? Your time, knowledge and dedication. If you want to be the death blow, prepare yourself the favorite sweets of your loved one. Personalize them as well and if you can come up with something that is not on the market, you are the one.

Strawberries are fruits most people love in various combination, with sugar, sour cream, cinnamon and so on. When they come up with chocolate as well, they're great. Chocolate covered strawberries are fast to make and you don't need a degree for it. Let's see how.

First of all, you have a little shopping to do. You need about half a kilo of strawberries, a big simple chocolate and one bowl of oil. Depending on your loved one's preferences, you can add some coconut, nuts, 2 or 3 biscuits, some grissini and so on. Wash the strawberries and keep them in the fridge for a few hours. They have to be hard, rather than flossy. If you got some huge strawberries, you can cut them in half. Stick each of them in a toothpick and then get them in the deep freezer.

While they are freezing, break the biscuits or anything else you might like to add. However, don't touch the chocolate. You can put them all in a small plastic bag and beat them with a schnitzel hammer. You might look like Captain Caveman, but it's faster. Put them all in a bowl, then melt the chocolate and mix it with the oil. Pull the strawberries out of the deep freezer and dip them in the melted chocolate, then pass them through the other ingredients that you beat earlier. The chocolate goes hard immediately. That's why the strawberries have to be kept in the deep freezer before. However, if you can melt the chocolate in like 5 minutes, the strawberries need more time, between 1 and 2 hours. And that's it.

Excellent gifts from an excellent lover.
