Why are chocolate covered strawberries so expensive?

[Walamagicc]

All you do is melt some chocolate and dip the strawberries in it. It’s not a hard job so why are they like $15 for 8 strawberries?

Valentine's Day, and they CAN charge a lot, because too many idiots are too lazy to take the time, to make the personal touch, and make these, for their lover!!
I wash the strawberries, and then dry them, before dipping them in Dark chocolate. I let that set, then decorate the chocolate with different colored icing drizzles.
Before, I did pineapple slices, quarters, and coated the outer edge with chocolate, and set them on a stick, with the strawberries, like a flower arrangement. A few raspberries and blueberries in between, just for fun!

It's never a hard job if someone else is doing it. Do it yourself if others doing it are charging more than you feel they should. Pretty simple solution.

Right! It’s cheaper if you do it yourself. At this point you’re just paying for packaging

As someone who has made two dozen chocolate covered strawberries last month, I can honestly tell you: it takes a lot of work. Especially if you are not a professional, and you do not have all the right tools. My arms were sore as I had to really mix the chocolate in between the melting period in the microwave! I had to keep a good eye on the chocolate so it won’t burn! And strawberries and fruit in general are fragile so it’s all about the handmade goodness and focus and time!! What may look east is not always that simple!😍

I have a pretty easy time making them. Use a double boiler and melting chocolates and it should be easy peasy lemon squeezy. And make sure the strawbs are patted dry before you dip them in the chocolate.

because a bunch of simps are willing to pay it in attempt to get laid.

Because its not strawberry season. Buy them in summer for for a fraction of the price.

I make them on my own. Its hard work. I use champagne instead of water. They come out real nice :)
