a simple gift to a friend (and leftovers for me)

glossy strawberries all lined up in a row

i used mainly dark chocolate but added some semi-sweet morsels to take the bitter edge off

and some butter to keep it shiny and smooth

im not very good at making the strawberries look "perfect"

but hey- its still yummy

tucked away neatly in a bakery box with some parchment paper

a gift tied up and ready for a friend

chocolate dipped strawberries are one of my most favorite gifts to receive and give
