What do you do when ridiculously large strawberries beckon to you from the grocery’s fresh-produce aisle? Well, you make chocolate-covered strawberries, that’s what! The fact that I have never made chocolate-covered strawberries before obviously didn’t stop me. I mean, how hard can it actually be? There’s strawberry, there’s melted chocolate,* dip one in the other, let cool, and PRESTO!
But, of course that would be too easy–even for me. So, I decided to make things a bit more interesting by adding a li’l butter (if it’s good for the French, it’s good for me!), a smidgen of leftover wine, a sprinkling of nutmeg, and a wee pinch of chili powder (just a wee!).
