It’s always been a misconception that chocolate dipped strawberries are fancy desserts that you are supposed to only get it from chocolate stores that charges a ton of money. No, stop it, it is super easy to make and we decided to make it even fancier with Nutella and hazelnut that basically makes it a strawberry Ferrero Rocher. If this doesn’t impress your Valentine, I don’t know what will.
