4th of July Chocolate Covered Strawberries
These patriotic 4th of July chocolate covered strawberries are simple to make, look great, and always taste delicious.
In our house, any excuse to make chocolate covered strawberries is a good excuse. And with the 4th of July rapidly approaching it only made sense to create some patriotic 4th of July chocolate covered strawberries! What I like the most besides the fact that it is strawberries and chocolate is that this is easy. I love recipes that are easy to make but look good. These look patriotic and they are perfect to take to a 4th of July BBQ.
