Happy Valentines Day - Chocolate Covered Strawberries Coated with Goodies

Anthony is super excited about Valentines day! He went out today and bought a gift for me...so sweet!
If I would guess its something we will both enjoy like chocolate.  I combined Anthony's two true loves chocolate and strawberries and made this easy simple dessert.  We had a blast dipping and picking a variety of toppings. We choose crushed banana chips, dried fruit, sprinkles, marshmallows and chocolate chips.  We ran out of pretzels we would have used them also.  Lets be honest, anything dipped in chocolate is going to be delicious! We used organic strawberries and dark chocolate organic bars that I melted down.   Chocolate is made from plants which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables.  Dark chocolate is actually loaded with a large number of antioxidants actually 8 times the number found in strawberries.  This treat is not only good for you but its also healthy.  What's also good for you are date nights.  Mommy and daddy went out Friday to celebrate Valentines day.  We dined at Del Frisco's steakhouse one of the best steaks we have ever had. We brought home leftovers for Anthony and he licked the plate clean.  We plan to spend our Valentines day at home and share a meal together as a family and top it off with these tasty treats.  Hope you enjoy your Valentines day with your family!
