    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of chocolate should I use?

    You can use any type of chocolate you like, whether it's milk, dark, or white. Just make sure it's high-quality chocolate for the best results.

    How do I keep the chocolate from melting?

    Make sure to keep your strawberries and chocolate at room temperature before dipping them. If your kitchen is too warm, you can also chill your strawberries in the refrigerator for a few minutes before dipping them.

    How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking or falling off the strawberries?

    Make sure to thoroughly dry your strawberries before dipping them in chocolate. Any moisture on the strawberries can cause the chocolate to seize or become grainy. Also, be sure to let the chocolate-coated strawberries cool and harden completely before handling them or transferring them to a plate.

    How long do chocolate covered strawberries last?

    Chocolate covered strawberries are best eaten within 24 hours of making them. However, if you need to store them, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Keep in mind that the longer they're stored, the more the strawberries will release moisture and the texture may change.

    Chocolate Covered Strawberries

    Chocolate covered strawberries are a delicious and versatile dessert that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion. Whether you're enjoying them on your own or sharing them with friends and family, they're sure to be a hit!
    Prep Time25 minutes mins
    1 hour hr
    Course: Dessert
    Servings: 24 strawberries
    Calories: 86kcal
    Author: Melissa Griffiths - Bless this Mess

    Ingredients

    • 24 large fresh strawberries with leaves attached
    • 12 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
    • Rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Make sure the strawberries are thoroughly dry, any water remaining on the surface will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.
    • In a heatproof bowl, add the semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips. Microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
    • Hold each strawberry by the leaves and dip it into the melted chocolate, turning it to coat evenly. Gently shake off any excess chocolate.
    • Place the chocolate-coated strawberries on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining strawberries.
    • Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill the strawberries for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
    • Once the chocolate is set, remove the chocolate covered strawberries from the refrigerator. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

    Notes

    • Optional: If you'd like to add a white chocolate drizzle, melt 4 ounces of white chocolate chips using the same method as the semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips. Use a fork or a piping bag with a small tip to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chocolate-coated strawberries in a zig-zag pattern.
