Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries , about 20
- 8 ounces couverture chocolate , roughly chopped
- 8 ounces White chocolate or almond bark , roughly chopped
- Sprinkles of choice
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone mat.
- Wash the strawberries and dry them with a paper towel and then let them further air dry and come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. The chocolate will not cling to wet strawberries.
- Fill the bottom pot of a double boiler one third of the way with water and bring to a low simmer.
- Place the top pot on and all of the couverture chocolate, reserving roughly 1 tablespoon.
- Stir constantly until the chocolate has nearly all melted, then remove from the heat and stir in the remain 1 tablespoon of couverture. Alternately, use the microwave method as described in the notes.
- If using alternating white chocolate, do all of your couverture chocolate first and then follow with with repeating the same steps. Unless you have two double boilers and then, I am simply impressed.
- Dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate, swirling once and then tapping off excess.
- Immediately add sprinkles or other toppings while still tacky.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet to set.
- For drizzling the desired chocolate and place it in a squeeze bottle or candy melting bag, drizzle.
- If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or ratings!

Notes
- Microwave the milk chocolate for 30-second intervals at 50% power or 20 seconds if at full power in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Take the bowl out and give it a stir. Be careful, as the bowl will likely be hot.
- Place the bowl back in the microwave and repeat the process of cooking for 30 seconds at 50% power and stirring.
- After the first two intervals, reduce the time in the microwave to only 10 or 15 seconds.
- When chocolate is mostly melted with just a few chunks, do not place it back into the microwave, simply keep stirring it until smooth. Use immediately.
