sign that summer is here!

Matcha-Covered Strawberries
Perhaps an unexpected twist on chocolate-covered strawberries, the addition of
matcha powder to the white chocolate is sure to pique customer interest.
Chocolate Strawberry Pearls
With the slight crunch of dried strawberry in the center of
layers of white chocolate and strawberry-flavored chocolate, these delicate
pearls made by Bridgewater
Chocolate are an elegant way to showcase strawberries.
Strawberry Pretzel Bark
Here’s a new take on the summertime classic, strawberry pretzel
dessert. With its natural berry notes, ruby chocolate is a natural fit for
pairing with strawberries.
Strawberry Shortcake Truffles
Combining all the creamy, salty, buttery, fruity, unforgettably tasty flavors
of strawberry shortcake in a single bite, Milk Bar’s strawberry shortcake cake
truffles are made with strawberry-studded vanilla cake, soaked in strawberry
milk and rolled in strawberry shortcake crumbs. Milk Bar’s founder and
television personality, Christina Tosi, shares her recipe here.
With strawberries popping up in farmers markets across the
country, now is the time to take advantage of your local harvest. Even if you
don’t follow some of these recipes exactly, use them as inspiration to create a
recipe that is totally unique to your brand!
Here’s wishing you a sweet, strawberry kind of summer!
