Valentine's Desserts

Chocolate Covered Strawberries with Champagne

Purchase your favourite Champagne and chill.

Buy fresh strawberries that have their stems intact. Wash, dry and refrigerate the strawberries. (Cold strawberries will cause the chocolate to harden and there will be less dripping.)

Chocolate dip: Buy a jar or Nutella, European chocolate hazelnut spread. Place 1 cup of Nutella in a double boiler or fondue pot. Add 1 to 2 Tablespoons of heavy cream. Heat over low heat! Add more heavy cream as needed until the consistency of heavy cream.

Serve your Valentine. Men, you can do it!
