Sunday was Mother’s Day and I had this idea in my head that we needed to make some chocolate covered strawberries. I had seen them while I was surfing Instagram (that’s a thing, right?) not once, but twice and became obsessed with the idea. Not that chocolate covered strawberries are a new thing…I just got really excited to try it!
