One year we surprised each other with chocolate covered strawberries. We also bought them at the same store about an hour apart on our way home from work. True story. But then who wouldn’t be happy to get a chocolate covered strawberries! 🙂

Big enough for Valentine’s Day without a week of leftovers!
Go on have a bite!
