Lasonja WilliamsI’m a chocolate lover so I always get excited around Valentine’s Day. The only thing that bugs me is how expensive some of the treats and desserts can be. I decided to try making my own desserts at home and I must say, it’s very easy and doesn’t cost much at all. Just a few ingredients like chocolate and strawberries and the possibilities are endless. I ordered some candy molds online, and I’m always creating so many cool things. If you like chocolate covered strawberries, try this recipe at home:
