How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries
It's not as easy as you may think, so I'm sharing all my tips to make the perfect Chocolate Covered Strawberries.
Ingreadient
- 16 strawberries (washed and dried, 16 to 20 berries, depending on the size)
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips (divided)
- dye-free sprinkles (optional garnish)
Step by step
- Ensure that the strawberries are completely dry and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a double boiler (see note below) over medium heat. Stir frequently until the chocolate is smooth and shiny. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips to cool down the temperature.
- One by one, hold each strawberry by the stem and roll it around in the chocolate, gently lay it on the baking sheet, and top it with a few sprinkles. I like to hold the pot on its side to give the strawberries enough room. If you add the sprinkles right away, there’s no chance of it hardening too soon.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or freeze for 15 min) and serve.
