Here’s a simple recipe for chocolate-covered strawberries:
Ingredients:
– Fresh strawberries
– Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
– White chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
– Toppings of your choice (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut)
Instructions:
1. Wash the strawberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry before dipping them in chocolate to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
4. Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
5. Place the dipped strawberries onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. If desired, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl and drizzle it over the chocolate-covered strawberries.
7. While the chocolate is still melted, sprinkle your desired toppings over the strawberries.
8. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
9. Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the strawberries from the refrigerator and serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Enjoy your delicious chocolate-covered strawberries as a sweet treat or a romantic dessert!
