Strawberry Cheesecake Bites Dipped in Chocolate
Oh my goodness gracious! I love a good strawberry but, I love strawberry cheesecake bites even better. My family begs me to make them, but I’ve never added the chocolate on the top until today. After all, chocolate and strawberries are delicious together.
I wanted to take more pictures but, when everyone found out I was making strawberry cheesecake bites, they came running. It only took a few minutes for them to disappear. I guess I will have to be happy with the photos I took before they vanished.
This little guys are so popular that I have had guest eat them before I served dinner. Once they realize that strawberry cheesecake bites are in the refrigerator, the game is over. I want to start serving them as appetizers in hopes my dessert will last until dinner is over.

Are you ready for fresh fruit? I know you can get fresh strawberries in the grocery store all year long but, it is so much better when it’s in season. I’m working on a few more fruity things so maybe that will tide me over until I see the “OPEN” sign at the fruit stand.

Mmmm… now I know what to do with those strawberries coming in in the garden!
Of course I’ve seen chocolate dipped strawberries before but I’ve never seen them done with a piped filling. No wonder these disappear so quickly, they look delicious!
Mmmmm…. Fruit! I love all of it, but I’m really looking forward to fresh berries and melons when they come in season. YUM! Your little strawberries look delectable. 🙂
Yummy!! May need to try this once my strawberry stand opens. Hopefully only a couple more weeks!
Just when I thought a strawberry couldn’t get any better….FANTASTICO!
