Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

Chocolate covered strawberries are an indulgent and easy treat to make. They are perfect for special occasions or simply as a sweet snack. Here's a simple way to prepare them.


Ingredients (Makes about 12 strawberries):

  • 12 fresh strawberries (washed and dried thoroughly)
  • 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if you prefer)
  • 4 oz (115g) white chocolate (optional for drizzling)
  • Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut (optional for coating)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Strawberries:

    • Wash the strawberries gently and pat them dry with a paper towel. It is very important that they are completely dry before dipping, as water can cause the chocolate to seize up.
  2. Melt the Chocolate:

    • Chop the semi-sweet or dark chocolate into smaller pieces for easier melting.
    • Melt the chocolate using one of these methods:
      • Microwave: Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
      • Double Boiler: Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir the chocolate until melted and smooth.
  3. Dip the Strawberries:

    • Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering about 3/4 of the strawberry. Gently tap the strawberry against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
    • If you want, you can roll the chocolate-covered part of the strawberry in sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut while the chocolate is still wet.
  4. Optional: Drizzle with White Chocolate:

    • Melt the white chocolate in the same way as the dark chocolate. Once melted, place it in a small piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small corner cut off. Drizzle the white chocolate over the dark chocolate-covered strawberries in a decorative pattern.
  5. Let the Chocolate Set:

    • Place the chocolate covered strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them cool at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
  6. Serve:

    • Once the chocolate is fully set, serve the strawberries immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Tips and Variations:

  • Chocolate Type: You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate depending on your taste preference.
  • Toppings: Customize the toppings by adding crushed nuts (like almonds or pistachios), sprinkles, or even edible glitter for a festive look.
  • Storage: Keep the strawberries in a cool place, but avoid refrigerating them too long as condensation can affect the chocolate's finish.

These chocolate covered strawberries are a sweet, decadent treat that’s sure to impress! Would you like more ideas for customizing them or tips on serving them at a special event?
