You really can't go wrong with chocolate covered strawberries especially if you're looking for a simple Valentine's Day treat. Homemade desserts don't have to take a lot of time or effort, and teamed with a bottle of vino or bubbly, these little taste sensations are the perfect accompaniment for a romantic night in. 

Valentine's Day wouldn't be Valentine's Day if it didn't involve chocolate, and chocolate covered strawberries are simple enough to whip up in just a few minutes. If you get impatient and don't wait to wait for them to refrigerate, this also doubles up as a decadent fondue and melted chocolate is always a good idea.

So, grab yourselves a box of strawberries, a few bars of chocolate, and get ready to create the perfect Valentine's treat. This recipe will create roughly 10-12 medium-sized strawberries, but it's hard to go wrong with it and it's not exactly a bad thing if you end up melting too much! To mix it up a bit, chop up some banana or pineapple and place them on small skewers or cocktail sticks, and coat those in a layer of chocolate too.

Opt for high-quality chocolate like Lindt or Green & Blacks for a thinner layer of chocolate, or Galaxy or Cadbury's chocolate buttons for a slightly thicker covering.  Don't forget to check out my post on keeping the spark alive this Valentine's Day if you're stuck for ideas on what to do with your love!
