Method
How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries
- Gently wash the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they’re completely dry.
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
- Place the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If using white chocolate, melt it the same way as the semi-sweet chocolate.
- Using a fork or piping bag, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chocolate-covered strawberries.
- Refrigerate the strawberries for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firmly set.
- Remove from the refrigerator and serve immediately.
