Although both chocolate aand strawberries have been around for a long time, it was not until a woman named Lorraine Lorusso combined the two in the 1960s that the decadent chocolate covered strawberry was created. Lorraine worked at a small gourmet store called the Stop N’ Shop in Chicago. She took a tempered version of the gourmet chocolate served in the store aand dipped the seasons’ freshest berries into the mixture. She allowed the chocolate to harden aand then served them to paying customers. The treat was an instant success.
