While at Save-On Foods after work today picking up groceries for dinner, I noticed that two pints of strawberries were on sale for just $1.98. Much too cheap to resist, I picked up a box and some bulk dark chocolate melting wafers to try my hand at making Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries.

It turned out to be the perfect dessert to make while I let the butter chicken simmer away on the stove. On another burner, I melted the chocolate, dipped the washed fruit, and placed them on wax paper to allow the coating time to harden. I was finished this exercise by the time the rice was ready, and the strawberries themselves were ready to be consumed when we had had our fill of dinner.

A nice weeknight treat, the chocolate-dipped berries were easy and elegant to pull together – always a plus in my recipe book!
