One of my favorite treats to make on Valentine's Day is chocolate covered strawberries. They look so fancy and they are delicious!

Do you ever decorate them? You can dip the strawberries (or other fruit) in milk chocolate and then decorate with white chocolate. Sunspire makes white chocolate chips that are reasonably allergy friendly, and there are other brands also. This link has some fun pictures to get your creative juices flowing:
