Strawcolate

Picnik collage2

Chocolate-coated fruits were introduced in the Philippines several years ago. I personally prefered Czarina’s Gourmet Apples to San Fo Treats because their apples are of more quality and overall packaging and blending were funkier. Hence, it is more expensive. Chocolate fountains,too, became a favorite attraction in some gatherings especially at wedding receptions. But although I’ve got a sweet tooth, this is something that my taste buds get tired of easily. But the very least is strawberry chocolate.

I’d always find it more appealing to devour the freshly cut strawberries by dipping these into the chocolate melt than having the commercialized or self-prepared chocolate coated ones. Here’s the link to making chocolate strawberries.

But the easiest yet dependable way to whip it is to chop strawberries (and pineapples, too) coupled by marshmallows or anything which will complement the taste. Melt a bar of toblerone, preferably white, and use it as a dip. You may also use chocolate chips and creams (and coffee to make it bittersweet).

Straw-colate is one of the perfect blends ever.

    ewan ko ba, i love chocolate, but dipping things in chocolate did not really appeal that much to me.

    now dipping food in melted cheese, that’s another yummy story altogether.

    I haven’t tried that because it doesn’t appeal much to me. Hehehe! I prefer a dipping the strawberry in a whipped cream and sugar =)

    Wow! Parang fondue! Kami naman we open a can of condensed milk, pour it on a plate, we dump the strawberries in and press ‘em with a spoon. Masarap din!

    mmmmmmm! we get to dip not only strawberries, but also pretzels and marshmallows when we use our chocolate fondue fountain at parties! (http://fairywinkle.blogspot.com/2009/02/litratong-pinoy38tsokolate-chocolate.html)

    i use melted baker’s chocolate because it can cascade smoothly from the device, unlike melted chocolate bars.
