Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Chocolate Covered Strawberries are one of my favorite treats to make for special date nights or holidays, especially Valentine's Day! They only require 2 ingredients and they are sooo delicious.
Servings: 16 servings (2 strawberries per serving)
Ingredients
- 2 lbs strawberries
- 12 oz chocolate chips use whatever is your favorite
Instructions
- Wash your strawberries and dry extremely well. This is very important or else your chocolate will not stick to the strawberries.
- Once your strawberries are completely dry, add your chocolate to a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds and then stir.
- Repeat step 3 until about half of the chocolate is melted.
- Stir until the remaining chocolate has melted completely.
- Either hold the strawberry by the stem, or place two toothpicks into the top of your strawberry to hold and then dip your strawberry into the chocolate.
- Wipe the excess chocolate off of the bottom of the strawberry on the side of your bowl and then place on parchment paper to set up.
- Repeat with remaining strawberries.
- If you’d like to drizzle with white or dark chocolate, let the strawberries set up completely and then follow the same melting instructions in steps 3 and 4 to melt the chocolate.
- After the chocolate is melted, transfer the melted chocolate to a zip top bag and snip the corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the strawberries and allow the chocolate to set up.
- Store your strawberries in the fridge, best if eaten same day.
