Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

This past weekend I helped out my mom's Peterbrooke Chocolatier store since it was Valentine's Day weekend and that happens to be one of their busiest times of the year. Myself and a few others dipped over 8000 strawberries for sale mostly on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Saturday was the busiest and we pretty much never stopped dipping all day.

Even though there was a lot of work to do I had fun with it all and now consider myself a strawberry-dipping expert. The only part that sucked was when a strawberry head would break off from the leaves (which you hold) and the berry would drop into the chocolate. You needed fast fingers to keep it from sinking. There were plenty of screw-ups like those to eat after the store closed each night!
