Ingredients to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
This dessert not only tastes fantastic but it also looks like a million bucks. Plus, you don’t need a lot of ingredients to make them! See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Chocolate: You can use semi-sweet, milk chocolate, white chocolate, or dark chocolate for your strawberries! Or, keep it interesting and do a few of each.Shortening: This creates a smoother consistency for your chocolate. Strawberries: When you are picking out your strawberries, make sure to pick out the largest ones that you can. These are easier to dip and hold on to when eating them. Toppings (Optional): Sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, crushed candy bars, and crushed peppermint.
Let’s Dip Some Strawberries!
This recipe is simple and easy! All you need is a few ingredients and a microwave to melt your chocolate. Once you try them out, then you will want to make these for every occasion!
Drizzle: Add your drizzle of topping on after your chocolate has hardened on the strawberry. I like to use white, milk, or dark chocolate melts, melted peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, or caramel sauce! Just cut a tiny hole in the corner of a ziplock bag and put in your topping of choice. Drizzle it over the top of the strawberry and enjoy! Toppings: Add your toppings right after your strawberry has been dipped. That way, your toppings will have something to stick to. I have tried sanding sugar, candy, or cookies that have been crushed up or even graham cracker crumbs!
Can you make Chocolate Covered Strawberries Ahead of time? YES! They will last about 2 to 3 days stored in an airtight container in your fridge. If you see that they have condensation building up on them then just go ahead and dab them with a paper towel.Can you Freeze Chocolate Covered Strawberries? I don’t recommend freezing them. It is best to keep them covered in the refrigerator rather than the freezer. This is because the strawberries will build up condensation on top of the chocolate as they defrost. This makes the chocolate melt quickly and it creates a bit of a mess. I would stick to storing them in the fridge!
