Chocolate-covered strawberries are insanely delicious, but the traditional way of dipping them into chocolate poses a few too many problems that make these delicacies less appealing to make. Not only does this hack solve the major mess problem, but it makes moving your strawberries in and out of the fridge way easier.
Solution: an ice tray… and toothpicks if you’re really not about messing up those hands.
Just fill your tray up with that heavenly melted chocolate and stick those berries in. No mess, only a tasty treat.
Why bother? Fail.
