Well, why not? They may not the most traditional of Easter gifts, but always a very welcome treat for a gourmet chocolate lover. If you want to make your own, the Food Network has a great article here. There are other alternatives to all this work, and if you want to send chocolate covered strawberries as a gift, CCBerries Gourmet Chocolate Covered Strawberries is one of the best places to order them.
I’ve had some pretty crummy chocolate covered strawberries where the chocolate tastes like wax or the strawberries are too small. I’ve been hesitant to order something that needs proper, quick shipping over the internet. I can promise you that CCBerries delivers a great tasting product, but you should know that they
- Only use real chocolate
- Knows how to dip a strawberry to protect it from bruising
- Only use long stemmed strawberries
- Always use overnight shipping and gel packs
I also like the way CCBerries look – the solid chocolate with the drizzle designs or other decorations is a bit more fun than just the flat matte of a solid chocolate covering. CCBerries also has gift sets that add chocolate drizzled cheesecakes or madelines. I’ve never had the cheesecake or cookies, but based on the high quality of their premier products, I can’t imagine being disappointed with anything this company produces.
CCBerries also does personalized designs on these strawberries – very cute for holidays or special occasions. In fact, the first time I had CCBerries was at a baby shower where somebody brought a box of huge white chocolate covered strawberries with a design that shouted “It’s Boy!” in blue print. For Easter, they’ve put a cute little green bunny on the berry with the words “Happy Easter.” Lemme tell you, I’d sure be happy eating these things after whatever I make for Easter dinner.
