Making Chocolate Covered Strawberries with Sisters

Making Chocolate Covered Strawberries with sisters is a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day or Spring! Since we just returned from a sweet “sister trip,” strawberries are on my mind. :)

When our Mom left us girls 20 years ago, after a long bout of cancer, it has given us a reason to celebrate and to prioritize time together as sisters, exactly the way Mom would have wanted it to be. Which is why we love to be together every chance we can. (Stay tuned for our Palm Springs trip/post coming soon!)

Set the table

Today, in honor of my sisters and mom, I set the table with beautiful red roses in the gorgeous outdoors here in Bend, and added new Chocolate Covered Strawberries photography!

Whole Foods Bend delivered beautiful roses to my door this week for Valentine’s Day! Lucky girl!

Making Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Delicious for any holiday, but specifally Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, the recipe’s pretty simple, and who doesn’t love a chocolate dipped strawberry?

2 tips to share if your chocolate clumps together:

1. Microwave chocolate 30 seconds at a time and stir, stir, stir for glossiness.

2. Strawberries should not be stored in refrigerator longer than 1 hour, as condensation drops may collect on the chocolate.

We dream of Mom to this day, but we have to have the boldness and courage–the belief that it’s okay that she is gone, and the hope of seeing her again–to call it beautiful.

I treasure her last letter to my family, and her beautiful handwriting.

We have to celebrate the fact that we can still dream. And we still have each other.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Mom! You’ll always be our Valentine!

If chocolate starts to clump and get thick, microwave the chocolate 30 seconds at a time and stir, stirring for glossiness. Only refrigerate for 15 minutes to harden; if you leave too much longer in the fridge they will weep (get watery).
