Chocolate Covered Strawberries are an easy, delicious treat to make as an edible gift or served as dessert at home. The juiciness and aroma of a perfectly ripe strawberries paired with chocolate is really amazing. I share tips below that ensure smooth, beautiful chocolate that doesn’t clump. Here is the recipe with step by step instructions and pictures.
1. Ingredients Preview.
2. Firstly, take strawberries in a bowl.
3. Gently swish them in a bowl of room temperature water. Drain the strawberries and gently wash them with running water.
4. Then spread the strawberries on a dry kitchen towel and dry each one individually with dry paper towel. Let them air dry at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
5. The easiest way to melt the chocolate is to place the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 20 second intervals, about 3-4 times,stirring after each interval, until melted.
6. Melted chocolate is ready and then add 1/4 tsp of oil in each chocolate bowl. Mix it well.
7. Dip the prepped strawberries into the white chocolate, then gently scrape the excess chocolate off the bottom.
8. To decorate the chocolate dipped strawberries, I cut the tiniest bit of corner off a plastic sandwich bag, and use that as a mini piping bag to drizzle a contrasting type of chocolate.
9. Dip the prepped strawberries into the dark chocolate, then gently scrape the excess chocolate off the bottom.
10. Similarly, drizzle a contrasting type of chocolate
11. You can make another design by using toothpick. With a toothpick make straight lines.
12. You could also simply drizzle the chocolate by dipping the tines of a fork into the melted chocolate and flicking it back and forth with your wrist, but the bag gives a much cleaner look, and is hardly more work. You can use sprinkles also to decorate it.
13. Let the strawberries set at room temperature. Do not put them in the fridge. It will harden at room temperature, usually in an hour.
14. Enjoy the strawberries the same day that you make them. They are never as good the next day, though they’ll still be edible one day later.
