One of my absolutely favorite things in the whole world is fresh produce. Take me to a farmers market anytime and I’m in absolute heaven, just walking around and looking at all the beautiful fruits and vegetables. But, we all know that you can’t visit the farmers market all of the time. Enter: Fresh From Florida produce at your local grocery store!

Winter is Florida’s prime season for strawberries! Where I live in Tampa, we always have the strawberry festival in February for this reason. You’ll find strawberry shortcake, strawberry funnel cake, strawberry everything. It’s one of my favorite times of the year because I can eat strawberries forever and ever and ever times infinity. 

You too? Then let’s talk about them more.

Why Fresh From Florida strawberries taste so great

Turns out that there is a reason our Fresh From Florida strawberries taste so great. The Florida sunshine and the photosynthesis process helps the strawberries to produce sugar and the random chilly nights we have during this time of year helps the strawberries to retain that sugar, ensuring a sweet fruit everyone loves. I’m so thankful to the Florida farmers for making it easy for us to eat great tasting and fresh produce year-round.

And then I go one step further by making dessert nachos! This sweet treat is made with homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips, Fresh From Florida strawberries (I purchase mine from Publix), melted chocolate, white chocolate chips and sprinkles.

It’s nothing too fancy and really the “hardest” part is making the tortilla chips and those just involve a quick process before baking them!

This is a great dessert that you can make quickly and easily, and then set out for everyone to enjoy. The star of these dessert nachos are the strawberries, of course. They are juicy and sweet and these dessert nachos would not be the same without them. You don’t have to do anything to the strawberries besides slice them; they really stand up on their own in this dessert.

Plus, dontcha know that strawberries and chocolate are like the dessert form of peas and carrots – they go together perfectly.
