Death by Chocolate

These strawberries are grown from local farmers. The strawberries are fresh, extra large and very sweet. I added Cream de Cacao into chocolate as it enhances or improves the flavors of both dark and white chocolate. These Dark and White Chocolate Covered Strawberries are placed on a plate and present a wonderful elegant dessert for Lunch, Dinner or a Sundy Brunch.
