- 2 pounds fresh strawberries (Buy a little more than you plan on making it)
- 23 oz milk chocolate chips ( A bag of 23 oz)
- 11 oz white chocolate chips (A bag of 23 oz or 11 oz)
Instructions
- Pick the best and good strawberries, no bruised, mushy or cut ones. (I bought 3 pounds of strawberries and only can use around 2 pounds of strawberries for this batch. Always buy a little more strawberries than you plan for making in case of the bad ones.)
- Pour 8 cups of water into a mixing bowl.
- Then, put the good fresh strawberries into the bowl and wash it.
- After that, drain the water and dry each of the strawberries with a paper towel gently. Make sure the strawberries are dry before dipping into chocolate, this step is very important.
- Put parchment paper on the tray.
- Pour 3 cups of water into a pot over the stove.
- Next, put a bowl over the pot and put a bag of milk chocolate chips (23 oz) into a bowl.
- Turn on low medium fire, keep stirring the chocolate chips with a spatula until the chocolate melts smoothly.
- Take a washed and dry strawberry, hold on the leaves and dip it into the melted milk chocolate. Then, move around clockwise to make sure the sides get covered with chocolate. See details in the video below the recipe card area.
- If you like white chocolate, pour a bag of white chocolate chips (11 or 23 oz) into the bowl over the pot like steps 6 and 7.
- Turn on low medium fire, keep stirring the white chocolate chips with a spatula until the chocolate melts smoothly.
- After, hold on the leaves of the strawberry and dip it into the melted white chocolate. Then, move around clockwise to make sure the sides get covered with chocolate. See details in the video below the recipe card area.
- Next, after dipping the strawberries into the melted chocolate, put them on the tray with parchment paper and let it dry a little bit. Then, put them into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- After the chocolate strawberries are refrigerated for 30 minutes, the chocolate will harden.
- The following step, put a ½ cup of melted white chocolate into a ziplock bag or a piping bag. Then, cut a small hole at the corner. (If the chocolate hardens, melt it again before putting it into the bag.)

Notes
- Buy a little more strawberries than you plan for making because sometimes some strawberries are not good, bruised and mushy in the box. (It is because I bought 3 pounds of strawberries and only can use around 2 pounds of strawberries for this batch.)
- Pick the best and good strawberries, no bruised, mushy or cut ones.
- I like to use medium large sized fresh strawberries to make chocolate strawberries.
- Mid January to February is the best time to make chocolate strawberries because it has more supply and the quality of strawberries usually are good in size and sweet because of Valentines day.
- Wash and use a paper towel to dry the strawberries gently. Make sure the strawberries are all dry before dipping into the melted chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl with the water in the pot and over the stove with low-medium fire. However, you can melt chocolate chips in the microwave until the chocolate is smooth.
- You can dip the fresh strawberries into the melted milk or white chocolate. Then, put them on a tray with parchment paper. Let them dry and fridge them for 30 minutes.
- If the melted chocolate hardens, melt it again. Then, put ½ cup of milk or white melted chocolate into a ziplock bag or a piping bag. Then, cut a small hole and pipe the chocolate on the chocolate strawberries and decorate the way that you want. Put them in the fridge for 15 minutes and let it dry.
- It is best to consume them the same day. However, it can be refrigerated for 2-3 days.
