Ingredients for Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Original recipe (1X) yields 12 strawberries
- 12 large fresh strawberries (with stems on)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate bar)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Optional toppings
- melted white chocolate
- crushed nuts
- sprinkles
- shredded coconut
Directions for Valentine Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Step 1
Gather all the ingredients. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and gently wash the strawberries. Pat completely dry; any water will keep the chocolate from sticking.
Step 2
Put the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate and gently twist to coat evenly. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 4
Place the dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle toppings on the chocolate while it is still wet.
Step 5
Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Tips for Perfect Chocolate Strawberries
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and shine.
- For decorative drizzle, dip a spoon in melted white chocolate and zigzag over strawberries.
- These are best eaten the same day but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
