First, be sure to choose the right strawberries for the job. We suggest steering clear of giant-sized berries when shopping. They may seem enticing (after all, more strawberry means more chocolate), but smaller ones are usually tastier they re sweeter, with a more intense strawberry flavor. Depending on the time of year, you may not have many options, but look for fruits that are deep red (no white shoulders) that are all roughly the same size.
