Remember when everyone was all “aw we missed out on chocolate covered strawberries and we’re so sad about this”? Remember that? Well, wipe away those tears! Did you know we have a Chocolate Dipped Strawberry club that delivers decadent, mouthwatering strawberries to you four times during the year?

I will probably never, in a million years, be able to make perfect chocolate covered strawberries. Which is weird, right? It should be simple. Get some chocolate, strawberries, something about pots and water and heat, and voila! Chocolate covered strawberries! But that’s never how it turns out (at least for me and the 10,000 times I’ve tried). One time a friend and I bought a little $20 chocolate fondue kit from Walmart to try and make them, but the chocolate basically stuck to the sides of the bowl and we only managed to get out 2 or 3 strawberries that had chocolate all over them (which remained really gooey and never hardened and I think I’m still a little mad that it dripped on my favorite pair of jeans…Okay, rant over). Anyway, lesson of the day, well made chocolate strawberries are tough to make.
My sad attempt at chocolate covered strawberries and the ONE strawberry that managed to look normal.
Which is why I think the 1800baskets.com Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Club is pretty (deliciously) convenient. For only $19.99 a month (down from $24.99!), you’ll receive 6 seasonally dipped and decorated jumbo strawberries four times a year (during the holiday season) and be able to pay as you go. When you sign up, you pick the first shipment date and then the remaining three set dates correspond with the upcoming holidays. All orders will be overnight delivered so we can keep your gifts just as fresh as when we make them. These sweet, juicy strawberries hand-dipped in real dark chocolate are perfect for just about anyone, including yourself 😉

Especially during the holiday seasons, times get super hectic and these chocolate dipped strawberries will be a great save for when you don’t have any time to pick up a birthday gift, Thanksgiving dessert, or holiday present. Dear men, there will be a Valentine’s Day themed box in February (hint). I’m certain whoever you gift these to will love them and (obviously) you even more so for thinking of them. You can even sit back and gift them to yourself (and maybe, if you have a strong enough will power, share them). There’s nothing wrong with wanting to treat yourself every once in a while for all the hard work you do day to day. These can be a special gourmet surprise to be enjoyed.
We aren’t mean people over here; we’re actually really fun (you’d probably even want us at any parties you throw)! So I won’t talk about these scrumptious gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries without some kind of incentive. In the comments section below (in 1-2 paragraphs as always) tell us what you think about our Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Club, even if you’re not in it, and we’ll pick two extremely lucky and random winners next week to win a box of chocolate dipped strawberries! We’re always looking forward to your feedback and things we can do to make our site more enjoyable for you.
