CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES RECIPE

There are all sorts of occasions that call for chocolate-covered strawberries: Valentine's Day, weddings, baby showers, champagne brunches, Friday nights at home and Wednesday afternoons alone. 

Sweet, fresh fruit covered in a creamy blanket of rich chocolate, they're the finest of desserts.


I love everything about chocolate-covered strawberries. I love the crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth shell and the cool, sweet strawberry beneath. 

You could buy a box of candy, but where’s the love in that? I love giving them as presents, and I love receiving them equally as much. 

And I especially love how easy they are to make at home — it's an afternoon project with a result that looks fancy no matter your candy-making skills. Today I will show you how to make them and decorate in few simple ways that make them look fantastic. 


The only other trick to making chocolate-covered strawberries is that the strawberries must be very, very dry. If you have any water left from rinsing or any sticky bruised areas, the coating doesn't "stick" to the strawberry as well. 

Drops of water can also make your chocolate seize up and become grainy as you dip. After rinsing the strawberries, I recommend patting them dry and then laying them out on a clean dish towel until they are completely dry.

Ingredients
200 gr or 2 cups of strawberries
100 gr of white, milk and dark chocolate
toothpicks
candy sprinkles
3 zip lock plastic bags
chopped nuts ( you can use any nuts you like)
foam board ( or parchment paper to place strawberries)

I cannot resist any further, chocolates & strawberries, what a combination...

aww thanks so much :) x

Have u tried using bark instead of chocolate? Just curious because I was going to try so I don't have to temper the chocolate:)

i dont even know what bark is lol!

Haha it's pretty much like those Wilton candy melts/fake chocolate lol it's just easier & comes in lots of colors so that's why I like it but chocolate definitely is better tasting :)

Berrie-Delicious!
Could you also do this to the Banana?
Yum and Healthy...

yeah definitely!! why not!!!

Chocolate-covered Strawberries are <3 <3 <3

AHHHH I have a love/hate relationship with food blogs bc they look so good but make me SO hungry. I also don't have strawberries in the house atm... I know what I'm doing today.

Same here. Every time it happens I regret the existence food blogs.

hahah yeah i know what you mean :) but its ok :)) you love me more I'm sure :P

You should try to dip it into honey, it was a unique taste and its healthier than sugar. 😁

Strawberries and chocolate, want more could you ever want in life ! hahaha xx

aww thanks so much :) x heheh its the best!!

Ooooo chocolate.....I think covering any food in chocolate makes it so much better and increases the level of dopamine in your brain, making you feel so much happier! Well, maybe not every food (e.g. chocolate covered grasshoppers) - great point about coating chocolate on very dry strawberries as it definitely helps it stick much better. Let's just say I speak from personal experience ;)

yeah chocolate always helps in any situation! :))) hahah i would try grass hoppers too! lol !!

Cool that settles it then - we're gonna try some chocolate covered grasshoppers in Lisbon WOOOO!

I want some of these right now! :)

heheheh !

I have made these for my partner before and they went down a treat. They were not quite as pretty as yours but i did manage to scoop out some strawberry from each one and pour chocolate inside to give them a chocolate center. YUMMY! thanks for the great post.

I love everything about this but I hate strawberries so maybe I could do the same thing but to with more chocolate inside yum

hahahah do with marshmallow !

MMMMM I love those things. For a minute i thought i was looking at a picture from a company in the states called Sherries Berrys. They somehow find huge berries almost triple the size of a normal strawberry. But almost any chocolate covered strawberry is delightful.

hahaha oh really!!! thats true!!

These look great. I'll post my recipe for Tuxedo Strawberries tomorrow. :)

aww thanks so much :) x hehe yeah they are awesome!
