Make February 14th Personal
This time of year prices of chocolates, flowers, and fancy dinners skyrocket.

Dazzle your palate with Alcohol-Infused Strawberries for Valentine’s Day.
Skip the marked-up gifts! Make your gift personal with Champagne-Chocolate Covered Strawberries.
Be creative and make your own sweets for your significant other or treat yourself along with a binge of Netflix favorites.
Chocolate-Dipped Berries of the Boozy Kind
Since the base of this dessert is a strawberry, you can feel less guilty about eating sweets. You are actually getting your daily allowance of fruit. If you are going to lie at least make it believable.
Chocolate-Dipped Infused Strawberries
Ingredients
- 12 Whole Strawberries
- 1 lb. Milk, White, and/or Dark Chocolate melted and cooled
- 12 Liquor Injectors Plastic Pipettes See notes below
- 1 cup Vodka, Gin, Whiskey, or Champagne
Instructions
-
Simply dip your strawberries into the chocolate of your choice. Be fancy and dip it into other chocolates after the prior layer dries.
-
After dipping place your strawberries on a piece of wax or parchment paper.
-
Let your strawberries dry in a cool, but not cold place. A sudden shift of temperature will cause the chocolate to bloom.
-
After the chocolate hardens, fill your pipettes with the alcohol of your choice and insert it into the flesh of the berry.
-
Store on the top shelf of your fridge uncovered or serve immediately (without the wax/parchment paper) on a pretty serving dish.
Recipe Notes
Find the strawberry pipettes on Amazon. I don’t receive any compensation for this link.
Let me just say this for my follow singletons: There’s nothing wrong with spending this day with a glass of champagne, pizza, and chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Embrace self care!
