Chocolate is better than...

Alright men, listen up! Girls love chocolate. Some would even say they would chose it over... well, I think you know where I am going with this. 

Most of the posts have been about dinner ideas and since you've mastered that, now what? Dessert.

Chocolate covered strawberries are a fantastic way to end a great meal. They are enticing, delicious, and not too filling! You can either make them with your date and have some fun with the melted chocolate, or have them chilled and ready to go right after dinner. Either way, she'll LOVE them!  

                                   Chocolate Strawberries

Ingredients:
- strawberries
- 1/2 pound of chocolate chips (or other types/brands of chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon of shortening

1. You'll need two pans, the smaller should be able to fit in the larger. Boil water in the larger pan, and put the chocolate and shortening in the smaller pan. Stir occasionally until smooth.

2. Dip the strawberry in the melted chocolate and let sit until it's cold.
(Tip: You can use the caps from bottles to let it stand)

3. Ready to eat!

P.S: Feeding these to each other in front of a roaring fire is beyond romantic. Pair with a nice glass of champagne and she'll melt into your arms!
