There is nothing better than the heavenly combination of chocolate and fresh strawberries. I defy you to come up with a better sweet treat than these! They hint of decadence and romance and are deceptively easy to make.

Two ingredients: Fresh strawberries and Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Ratio: Two pounds of strawberries to a 12 oz bag of chocolate chips.

Method: Gently heat chips in microwave until smooth. Hold strawberry by stem and dip and twist. Place on wax paper to harden at room temperature. Enjoy!
