Strawberry season is just around the corner here in Santa Fe. Some friends went hiking in the Los Alamos area last week to discover plentiful strawberry patches growing out of the dust and ash from the wildfires we had last summer. It is a rebirth this spring and I am guessing those wild strawberries are going to be pretty amazing! 
Strawberries seem to be the harbinger of the amazing fruits to come late spring and summer. They greet us after the cold winter with a soft, sweetness and vibrant red color that reminds me of fruit crisps and fruit salads. Picnics and outdoor gatherings that are just starting to be organized amongst our friends.
These fresh berries are perfectly paired with a homemade, raw dark chocolate shell. This is such a simple treat to pull together, but seems so special when you share it with unsuspecting guests. So start planning your springtime picnic and bring some Chocolate Dipped Strawberries along.
