Strawberries are in season right now so we have been eating them at just about every meal. The kids asked if we could make chocolate covered strawberries for dessert and I kept putting it off. It was late, I was tired and dipping a bunch of strawberries was the last thing I wanted to do. So I washed up a bunch cut the tops off, then took out the core with a veggie peeler …. and tossed a few mini chocolate chips in the middle. Put them on a plate and said “There you go”. Well of course my kids looked at me like I was nuts.
I then said, “Who said the chocolate had to be on the outside, lets face it this is SO much easier”. The kids laughed and filled their tummies with strawberries and chocolate.
Less mess, less fuss, and way less time but taste just as good. These are a winner in my book 
Plus they are perfect for when you just want one as a quick treat. My kids made them the next day as an after school snack, plus we used it as a counting tool to help my preschooler practice counting, we counted out how many chips we could fit into each strawberry.

Are you having a 4th of July BBQ this week? You may want to try this patriotic recipe, looks impressive and rather easy to pull off.
Ingredients
1 package (3 ounces) berry blue gelatin
1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water
2 cups cold whole milk
2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 quart fresh strawberries, quartered
1 prepared angel food cake (8 to 10 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes
Directions
In two small bowls, combine each gelatin flavor with 1 cup boiling water. Stir 1/2 cup cold water into each. Pour each into an ungreased 9-in. square pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping.
Set aside 1/4 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup strawberries for garnish. Cut the gelatin into 1-in. cubes. In a 3-qt. trifle bowl or serving dish, layer the strawberry gelatin, half of the cake cubes, the remaining blueberries and half of the pudding mixture.
