Ingredients
For the Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
- 2 lbs large strawberries stems attached (25-count)
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate bars or chips* (finely chopped if using bars)
Optional Toppings:
- white chocolate chips melted to dip and drizzle
- finely chopped nuts (walnuts, pistachios, almonds)
- coconut flakes finely chopped
- Sprinkles or sanding sugar
- Oreo cookies crushed
Instructions
Prep Strawberries:
- Rinse strawberries and pat dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
How to Melt and Temper Chocolate:
- Fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium/low heat.
- Put 2/3 of your chopped chocolate into a rimmed bowl and set over your double boiler. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes or until chocolate is mostly melted and reaches 110˚F on a thermometer (not hotter than 120˚F or chocolate will burn).
- Immediately remove the bowl from heat with oven mitts and set it on a kitchen towel. To temper the chocolate, add the remaining 1/3 of your chocolate and stir constantly until cooled to 90˚F (the optimal dipping temperature is 90˚F.) If it starts to cool, return the bowl to the double boiler to warm it back to 90˚F.
How to Dip Strawberries:
- Working with one strawberry at a time, pull back the leaves to use as a handle. Then dip and roll in chocolate until evenly coated. Lift up the strawberry and let excess chocolate drip off. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.**
To Decorate Strawberries:
- Sprinkle on nuts, crumbs, or sprinkles while chocolate is moist so it adheres. Once semi-sweet chocolate is set, you can drizzle and decorate with melted white chocolate.
Notes
- *Use real chocolate with cocoa butter listed as an ingredient, such as Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate baking bars, or Trader Joe's Pound Plus Belgian chocolate. **Once the chocolate has set, enjoy the strawberries or store uncovered in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
