Watch the video: 



Heya Guys!
I wanted to make something appropriate for the upcoming Valentine's Day on February 14th. Chocolate covered Rose strawberries is the perfect thing to make! It is quick and easy. It is definitely a thoughtful & edible gift that you can give to friends, family, and that special someone. If you want to make more special you can personalize it with a message. I decided to decorate my flowers with I love you, be mine, and the initials of Matt and myself. I also put all of my roses in a vase to make it even more of a present with a pink bow to finish. These strawberries were freaken delicious with the white chocolate. You can also make them with candy chips but I prefer the white chocolate. Hope you like this, try it out and give it as V-day gifts =).
