Description
Chocolate Covered Strawberries Chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite way to say I love you with dessert. This recipe needs only two things: fresh strawberries and chocolate.
Ingredients
Ingredients
16 ounces fresh strawberries, about 24 strawberries
12 ounces chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate all work
Instructions
Instructions
1-Prep the strawberries: Prep the strawberries. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the strawberries and pat dry with paper towels. Make sure they’re completely dry and room temperature before dipping. If they’re still chilled, any condensation can prevent the chocolate from sticking.
2-Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove, stirring until silky smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring in between, until it’s smooth.
3-Dip the strawberries: Dip the strawberries. With each strawberry, pick it up by the leaves and slowly dip it into the chocolate until it almost reaches the top. Rotate the strawberry to make sure all sides are coated. Then, lift the strawberry and gently shake off any excess chocolate.
4-Let the chocolate harden: Let the chocolate harden. Carefully lay the dipped strawberries on the baking sheet. Allow the strawberries to air dry completely for at least 20 to 30 minutes. If you’d like them chilled or firmer after this, you can place them in the fridge.
5-Serve: Serve. Serve the chocolate strawberries as-is, or get a little fancy and add a drizzle of alternating milk, dark, or white chocolate.
