Recipe Hacks: Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries!

As a girl that would always steal the bowl of strawberries the second my grandmother was finished washing them, I am always looking for new ways to enjoy my favorite fruit of all time. Add chocolate into the mix? Oooh, it gets very dangerous.

Other than those that are allergic to either ingredient, who doesn't love a chocolate covered strawberry? It's so simple, elegant, and comparatively speaking, is a lot "healthier" compared to other sweet indulgences. Now, for all fellow foodie friends, I have found the ultimate life hack to making your own chocolate covered strawberries (and STORE them for a long time!) Sorry, Godiva, you will no longer be taking all of my money.

What You'll Need:

• Fresh (preferably organic) strawberries, halved or quartered (12 pieces)
• Chocolate ganache: check out these recipes and tips in making your very own at home! (you can always just get it at the store or make pourable Nutella ganache.
• Ice cube tray and foil

Directions

1. Place one strawberry into each well of the ice cube tray.
2. Once the ganache is lukewarm in temperature, pour an even layer over the strawberries.
3. Once the ganache is at room temperature, cover it with aluminum foil and place the tray in the freezer.
4. For best results, let the tray sit overnight and TA-DA! Chocolate covered strawberry bites :)
