Citrus White Chocolate covered Strawberries

Looking to make something sweet for your sweetheart this Valentine's day? Look no further than these Citrus White Chocolate covered Strawberries. It is really simple to make and it only involves 5 ingredients!! Who doesn't love chocolate covered strawberries???

Ingredients:
Fresh strawberries
Baking white chocolate
(or microwavable dipping white chocolate)
1 orange
1 lemon
1 tsp sugar

First clean the strawberries and let them dry on a paper towel. Don't worry... The strawberries won't stay naked for long...
As the strawberries are drying, grate half of the orange peel and the peel of the entire lemon into a bowl. Add the sugar and combine. Let the fruit peels sit for 15 minutes or more. CAUTION: the sugar will draw out the moisture of the peels... discard any excess juices.

Meanwhile, in a double boiler, melt down the white chocolate bars. (If using the baking chocolate, otherwise follow the instructions on the microwavable chocolate)
Once the chocolate has been melted (and the strawberries are completely dry), dip the strawberries and lay the strawberries on parchment paper to set. Sprinkle the fruit rind on the strawberries as you lay them on the parchment paper. Put the strawberries in to the fridge for at least half an hour.

Enjoy the strawberries responsibly; WARNING: these strawberries are HIGHLY addicting and may cause your valentine to fall madly, deeply in love with you!
Happy Valentine's Day!!
