Chocolate Covered Strawberries with white chocolate drizzle

Most osf us have had them and we love them!!!!!!!!!!! When I was a kid I liked making my friends these gift bag for Valentines day. I would make different kinds of truffles,cake pops, cream puffs, and chocolate covered strawberries. Chocolate covered strawberries are one of the easiest dessert to make.Well, they are. But they are one of my favorites. I don't know how this got started but for a long time people have been making chocolate covered strawberries. But the got a lot better. I watch this show called Cake Boss. I saw a valentines day special and there chocolate covered strawberries were  nuts! They made them look this tuxedos and all these thing.They also stuck candy to the chocolate! Like a candy apple. Its really cool. But I like simple and elegant on  Valentines day. So I am doing a simple milk chocolate with a white chocolate drizzle. The original recipe didn't have white chocolate so I added some! I have realized in my years cooking and working with kids, they want to help. They will be busting your chops trying to help you. They mean good but it some cases it just turns out bad. But after you mix the milk chocolate and the shortning, you can find more about this in  the directions.  They can help put toothpicks in the strawberries or drizzle the white chocolate. This is super easy so you can find something for them to do. Actually, my next recipe will probably be cookies for them to decorate. Or a nice roasted lamb. Anyway talk about that later. I'm not gonna do a second paragraph because y'all probably know what a chocolate covered strawberry taste like. Plus I'm not in the mood. These will give some love to your kitchen. Or bring your love a kitchen. Nah, first ones better. Well y'all have a Valentines day full of love and enjoy these!
