Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds strawberries (fresh, stem attached (900g))
• 12 ounces dark chocolate ((or bittersweet, semi-sweet, milk chocolate) (340g))
• 10 ounces white chocolate or white candy melts ((284g))

Steps

1. 1

   Wash and carefully pat dry your strawberries.

2. 2

   Melt your batches of chocolate in a double boiler by placing each chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and setting it over a small pot with an inch or two of simmering water. You can also use a microwave to melt the chocolate. Heat it at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.

3. 3

   Dip each strawberry in chocolate. Place each strawberry on parchment paper to set. If you want to add any toppings, sprinkle them while the chocolate is still wet.

4. 4

   For added decoration, add a contrasting color of chocolate to a piping bag, snip off the tip, and pipe over the dipped part of the strawberry to create stripes.

5. 5

   Set aside to let the chocolate harden, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up quickly.
