It is more than likely that you have tried chocolate-covered strawberries—especially during romantic getaways and around Valentine's Day—however, the chances of you tasting chocolate-infused strawberries is significantly smaller. These delicious treats are manufactured by the traditional snack brand Bokksu.
In order to make the chocolate-infused strawberries, which carry with themselves an interesting texture and an inviting mouthfeel, Bokksu harvests the berries locally. Afterward, the harvest is freeze-dried and infused with white chocolate. Unsurprisingly a staff pick, the chocolate-infused strawberries are vegetarian and gluten-free.
One can indulge in this unconventional snack either through a one-time purchase of 12 pieces or by opting-in for Bokksu's Japanese snacks subscription boxes, which offer a variety of different goods for one to explore.
