These Chocolate Strawberry Cups Are Better Than an Ordinary Chocolate Covered Strawberry

By Jayna Goldstein at University of Florida

We all know the struggles of eating chocolate covered strawberries. The first bite is perfect, but after that it all goes down hill. Your second bite consists of purely chocolate shell and your third bite is a plain, sometimes soggy, strawberry. These chocolate strawberry cups allow you to have a taste of strawberry and chocolate in every bite, and not to mention, are perfect for times when strawberries are out of season and berry expensive.
