Thoughts on this? V-Day Gift
I was going to get a bunch of strawberries, and like cut off the top, then fill each one with like nutella or chocolate.
So like in inverted chocolate (or nutella) covered strawberry.
Whaddya think?
edit: I'm also making some for my mom and grandma, since so I thought it'd be nice to show them some love and appreciation.
edit2: Here's the link I'll be using for making them. Just thought I'd post it for anyone who'd like to try it out

You should get some almonds, cover it with chocolate and draw a face on it, then put it in the half strawberry and use the tops as hats for them.
If not, your idea is delicious.[/quote]
LOL that's cute I might do that someday.
@Texas: It's the taste that counts! Hrmmmm!

[quote=DeniseWong]Sounds delicious
I hope you have a vday card and maybe something else too! Because once she eats the strawberries, they're gone forever. She'll want someone to remember valentine's day by. Maybe buy her a stuffed toy or some accessory too.[/quote]
I got that covered! I might get her flowers too, and I also have a gift that she can keep in her room somewhere I can't tell you guys because it's a secret and I don't want nobody stealin' it! (Even if this is basil!) Let's just say it involves a lightsaber and a corny star wars pick up line.
XD

Chocolate is an aphrodisiac. So go ahead and stuff your girl with them. *wink wink*

Naval military are too large to be fitted inside fruit, especially ones as small as strawberries.

[quote=OhMiOhMai]@sokiss: do not freeze them! strawberries are delicate and their cells are filled with water. As we al know, water expands when frozen so the cells expand and burst. Once they come to room temperature they will be a piece of mush.[/quote]
Water takes the most volume at 4 degrees Celsius.
you can try that but in my experience refrigerated strawberries loose some flavour. I really suggest you make them right befor eyou give it to them, within 10 minutes if you're gonna box them, or within 45 minutes if you leave them in open air
@OhMiOhMai: So do I just refrigerate? D:
@Tainysi: That's not a bad idea. Not bad at all...
@RLxBellz: Tell me how it goes, please!

[quote=Tainysi]use Pockii sticks if you're gonna put sticks
More chocolate!
Or you can use the strawberry flavored pockiis[/quote]
oh that sounds like a good idea too. mmm more chocolate. <3

Nutella Makes everything Amazing.
In V-day
I was going to buy chocolate(box)
And throw it to my friends.
And say: "Love Hurts"
lol jk
V for Valentine.
save some for me
I'll have some too.
That sounds really yummy :'o
Might try that out since we got 2 boxes of Strawberries &alot of chocolate :'D
[quote=sokiss]I was thinking of kind of freezing them overnight, but I'm not entirely sure yet. Any advice on that?
@Margarita: So like after filling each one with the chocolate/nutella, then I stick some sticks into them and make like a strawberry bouquet? Like do I just give her the sticks, or should I place it in like a little cup, because I think that having a stick for one strawberry would look kind of empty on the rest of the stick..[/quote]
use Pockii sticks if you're gonna put sticks

[quote=OhMiOhMai]that sounds nummy but be careful, cut strawberries are fragile and messy so you'll want to give it to them right after you make it. leave them in a box for 30 minutes and you'll come back to sticky mushy strawberries. trust me, I know strawberries <<[/quote]

how cute
[quote=sokiss]Well, I was going to have a few on a plate and just give a few to my grandma (don't want to give her too many since she's diabetic) and give my mama a few too. Then like I was going to find a chocolate box (or some used chocolate plastic container somewhere in the house) and kind of put it in a box and try to give it to my girlfriend along with another gift! None of those lovely ladies in my life are materialistic and care for the box, but I just wanted to kind of give my girlfriend that little extra since all her gifts had so much effort into it. My mom would just appreciate someone making her something, and my grandma is the same way.[/quote]
have you thought of making a bouquet as an option? just sticking sticks into the strawberries and grouping them together. that would be cuuute.
that sounds freaking yummy.
[quote=Margarita]yeah it's nice. how are you planning on presenting the gift?[/quote]

If I'm your grandma, I'd love to have some of those as a gift

[quote=Zarrow]a decapitated horse head placed in her bed would be a much better gift[/quote]
That's out of my price range.
