DD wants Chocolate Covered Strawberries....help

[ConnieB]

Nothing to add everyone else pretty much covered the how to. But you might want to try Shari or Sherri's Berries. I've never had them but I have a friend who is a realtor and she raves about them and give them to her clients all the time. Very reasonably priced too.

Yes, they are yummy (and funny, our realtor sent us some too), but reasonably priced? Not in my opinion, lol. Just went and looked: a dozen strawberries for $35. Plus their "standard" shipping starts at $13, so total $48. That would make it $4.00 per strawberry.

Strawberries I bought this week were $4 for a 2 pound container and yielded me over 2 dozen good sized strawberries.....I buy chocolate at a speciality store for $10 a pound...so for less than $20 I can make a couple dozen beauties. And really, the time it takes to make them, even the first time learning curve, is not $50 of my time! For a long distance gift...yeah, because I can't imagine mine surviving the post office, lol...but for a birthday party or treat for the family, making your own is really much easier than you think!
