MAKES 6 BASKETS
YOU’LL NEED:

6 cardboard berry baskets
- Melt the milk chocolate to dipping consistency.

Oooh, festive and delicious! Looks quite easy to do, too, Carol. And if you think about it, strawberries are healthy… 😉
Margot some great festive ideas in this book – and stay tuned for a little something for Christmas.
