Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

If you feel like putting effort into your Valentine’s gift to someone, follow this simple recipe for chocolate covered strawberries!

Ingredients

A basket of strawberries

2 cups of dark chocolate chips/ chopped chocolate

Sprinkles, nuts, white chocolate is optional for decorations

Materials

Heat proof bowl (for melting chocolate)

Saucepan

Spatula

Baking sheet

Small plastic bag

Instructions

Wash and dry the strawberries

Melt the chocolate by making a double boiler. You make a double boiler by filling a saucepan with roughly 2 inches of water and set on medium-high heat until it simmers. Then place the dark chocolate on a heatproof bowl, place it on top of the saucepan using medium heat and let the chocolate melt. You can occasionally mix the chocolate until it is completely melted.

If you don’t have a heat proof bowl you can also microwave the chocolate for a couple minutes. Make sure to take out the chocolate between minutes to stir it.

Once your chocolate is completely melted, place a baking sheet down and start dipping the strawberries into the down until it is coated.

Repeat the process with the rest of your strawberries and add sprinkles or nuts if you want. If you want to add white chocolate drizzle, wait for the dark chocolate to set before adding it on top. Melt it the same way you melted the dark chocolate then place into a plastic bag. Cut the tip of the bag to use as a piping bag and drizzle the white chocolate on top.
