Tara’s Tips for Perfect Chocolate Covered Strawberries
- Wash the strawberries and be sure they are completely dry.
- Keep them refrigerated until ready to dip.
- Use parchment paper liner so they don’t stick.
- For the chocolate, you can use a bar, chips, chunks, or a bar that is greater than 70% cacao or labeled dairy-free.Β
- Don’t overheat the chocolate, it will burn!
- If you choose to dip fruit or other goodies that do not have a stem, pierce the item onto the end of a skewer to dip into the chocolate or use mini tongs
Directions:
- Wash and fully dry 1 lb strawberries
- Chill for at least 20 minutes in refrigerator
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Melt 12 oz chocolate chips or chunks on a small saucepan 90 seconds or until melted on low heat (do not overheat!) Stir continuously while melting
- Hold the strawberry by the stem and roll in the chocolate
- Place strawberry on parchment lined cookie sheet
- Repeat with each strawberry
- Transfer cookie sheet to refrigerator for 10 minutes or until chocolate has hardened
