10 What’s better than a delicious strawberry or cookie? A strawberry or cookie (or salty pecan cluster with caramel or even a spicy Cheeto) covered in chocolate! In this week’s issue, John Fladd looks into the transformative power of covering tasty stuff in chocolate to make it even tastier. He gets advice from the experts on buying (cough, Valentine’s Day, cough) and making your own chocolate treats.
