Chocolate Strawberry Eggrolls

You know when you are looking for something indulgent but simple?  ME TOO!

Something fairly quick but unusual?  ME TOO!

A recipe that will impress your kids?  Well maybe not so much on that one…but if it happens (and it did) then bonus!

These Chocolate Strawberry Eggrolls will check ALL of the boxes!

Dessert, sweet dessert.  I am actually not much of a dessert person, vastly prefering savory (unless it’s Reeses Peanut Butter Cups-all bets are off if those are around).  However, when I have dessert, I want it to be worthy.  I know you know what I mean.

These Chocolate Strawberry Eggrolls were born of a summer day goofing around in my kitchen at the cabin.  (The very, very best things are born there, honestly!) My kids love chocolate covered strawberries and this was a natural extension of those flavors.

I happen to like a darker chocolate and my littles like milk chocolate, so we compromised by using Ghirardelli’s semisweet chips and they were perfect. Powdered sugar is optional, but oh so pretty!

Imagine a bunch of kids, sitting on a dock, eating these egg rolls, chocolate dotting their fingers and strawberry juice running down their chins.  Maybe a little messy, but they all asked for more.  Every one of them!  So then the adults needed to try them (doesn’t everyone try out their creations on their kids first?).  Let me tell you, they were a hit among adults and kids alike.  A hit that is going to be repeated again and again.  (and luckily, a quick dunk in the lake and all kids were clean again-hallelujah!) Now fast forward to fall and my son is STILL asking when we can make these special treats again (answer: very, very soon.).

Chocolate Strawberry Eggrolls

These are a simple but indulgent treat that you all will love! Tip: I use a 6 quart dutch oven to do my frying, it is a great size and keeps the mess to a minimum. Make sure to keep the rolling directions from the package of your egg roll wrappers, as the pictures are worth a thousand words!
