Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Description
The recipe calls for drying ripe strawberries thoroughly to prevent moisture interference with the melted chocolate's adhesion. Semisweet chocolate disks are melted gently in the microwave in short intervals to avoid scorching. Each strawberry is dipped and allowed to drip off excess chocolate before resting on parchment paper to set until fully hardened.
These treats pair well with celebrations or as a light, fresh dessert. The natural juiciness of the strawberries complements the bittersweet chocolate coating, providing a smooth texture contrast. No additional toppings or embellishments are needed to enjoy their simple elegance.
Ingredients
- 12 strawberries
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate or milk or white chocolate!, disks
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between.
- Dry the strawberries with a paper towel and dip them in the melted chocolate allowing any extra chocolate to drip off before placing the strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let strawberries sit until completely hardened before serving.
