Lock-down Treat n.5: Choco Strawberries

Another quick and easy idea for a sumptuous snack or that something sweet we sometimes crave

Unfortunately, strawberries do belong to the “Dirty Dozen”, the list with the twelve crops that farmers use the most pesticides on, so it’s important to buy organic.

Ingredients

Fresh organic strawberries

30g of organic dark chocolate (min.85%)

1 tsp maple syrup

½ tsp pure vanilla beans or organic vanilla extract (no additives – check the label)

How to

Wash the strawberries thoroughly without removing the pit.

Melt the dark chocolate over low heat using a double boiler. I usually use a small saucepan with a bit of water, and on top I place a bowl with the chocolate.

Remove from heat and add the maple syrup and vanilla. Mix well.

Dip the strawberries into the chocolate mix and place them on a plate covered with waxing paper

Let chill in the fridge.

Enjoy!
