Mmmm...Chocolate...

On Sunday we had dinner with Drew's aunt and cousins. Part of it was a fruit tray with sweet, juicy, DELICIOUS strawberries. Drew's cousin told us she had gotten them on sale at King Soopers (a local grocery store--I know, weird name, huh?). So when I was there to get a couple of things yesterday, I saw them and remembered how good they were, so I had to get some :) Today I was making some treats for Drew to take to the young men at church tonight. If you've been around me at all over the past 2 months, you could probably guess what I made. Yes, my new favorite sweet...peanut butter rice crispy blobs.

If you've had these, you'll know why some were already missing :)

Drew doesn't like them quite as much as I do (I'm seriously addicted to them), but he likes them better with melted chocolate on top, so that's the way I made them today. When I was getting ready to melt the chocolate, I remembered the strawberries...and I'm sure you can see where this story it going :) All we had was a bag of Hershey's chocolate chips and I've always been nervous about melting chocolate the right way (I usually make Drew do it), so I didn't know if it would work to dip the strawberries in it...but it did! They turned out SO GOOD!
Drew even loves them, which is a real compliment since he's the better cook between us :) So I was happy with my sucess with a refreshing summer treat and just wanted to share.
