How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries
It’s super easy to make this sweet festive treat for holidays or for any special occasion:
- Remove the strawberries from the fridge for at least 15-30 minutes before using. Wash the strawberries and gently pat them dry completely using paper towels. If the strawberries are wet, the chocolate won’t stick.
- Melt the chocolate using your favorite method: on a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted, smooth, and creamy.
- Dip each strawberry in melted chocolate and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Decorate with desired toppings and drizzle with melted chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
Tips
- Make sure to pat dry the strawberries after washing, or the chocolate won’t stick properly.
- Use your favorite type of chocolate bar, such as dark, semisweet, sugar-free, or white chocolate, but make sure to choose a high-quality one.
- Use room temperature strawberries because cold strawberries tend to sweat and prevent the chocolate from sticking.
- I melt the chocolate on a double boiler, but you can melt it in the microwave, stirring from time to time.
- Use a little coconut oil to add a glossy look.
Topping for Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
- Chopped toasted nuts such as hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, or pistachios.
- Coconut Flakes
- Sprinkles
- Crushed cookies
- Melted chocolate to drizzle on top
- Chocolate Chips
How Long Do Chocolate Covered Strawberries Last
It’s best to keep chocolate-covered strawberries refrigerated for 1-2 days.
Freezing is not recommended for this recipe because thawing the strawberries releases moisture, which may ruin the chocolate topping.
