Chocolate covered strawberries are easy, fast, and never fail to delight. Get some melting chocolate from the baking aisle, melt it slowly so you don't burn it. Like 60% microwave power in 30 second increments. Dip berries and let them set for about 10 minutes on parchment paper. Don't refrigerate.
I used the microwave this morning and it worked great. I promised fast and easy, but feel free to work slower and steadier. It's easy to burn in the microwave, for sure. Don't heat it until it's melted, heat it until it's melty and then stir until smooth.
Microwaving chocolate gives you the same result for much less effort. You just need to do it in short increments. No more then 30 seconds to start and down to 10 seconds once it's nearly done.
Mother's Day varies a lot around the world, but today (or yesterday, in my time zone) is by far the most popular day, with a total of 92 countries, according to Wikipedia.
Exactly 2 weeks time is probably the fourth most popular date. (Second and third are 8 March and 21 March, tied with 19 countries.)
