Does it get any better than a chocolate covered strawberry? A ripe, juicy, red berry dipped in sweet chocolate. I can actually remember distinct moments of biting into a chocolate covered strawberry. A hard chocolate exterior breaks and bursts the berry into your mouth. One chocolate covered strawberry swoops me away to a heavenly place.
