Valentine’s Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Yield: 20 Strawberries
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Experiment with toppings like crushed cookies, drizzled caramel, or edible gold dust for a festive touch.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (about 20) fresh strawberries, washed and dried
  • 8 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
  • 4 oz white chocolate for drizzling (optional)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
  • Toppings of choice: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

    1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
    2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Add coconut oil if needed.
    3. Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
    4. Decorate: Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray. Drizzle with white chocolate or add toppings before the chocolate sets.
    5. Chill: Refrigerate for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
    6. Serve: Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Notes

  1. Dry Thoroughly: Any moisture on the strawberries can cause the chocolate to seize.
  2. Use High-Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor and smooth finish.
  3. Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge, but enjoy within a day for the freshest taste.
  4. Customization: Experiment with toppings like crushed cookies, drizzled caramel, or edible gold dust for a festive touch.
