If you want to learn how to make chocolate-covered strawberries, you’re at the right place. These strawberries will make you look like a confectionery pro!
Ingredients
- 1 pt. strawberries 24 large strawberries
- 1 cup semisweet milk chocolate chips melted
- 1 cup white chocolate chips melted
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Optional Toppings
- white chocolate chips melted to drizzle
- semisweet milk chocolate chips melted to drizzle
- pistachios finely chopped
- coconut flakes finely chopped
- red and pink heart sprinkles
- Oreo cookies crushed
Instructions
- Line a very large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In room temperature water rinse strawberries and place on a clean kitchen towel. Pat dry each individual strawberry with paper towels. Making sure the strawberries are dry is a very important step before they are dipped in the chocolate. This ensures the chocolate sticks better to the strawberries.
- In one small microwave-safe bowl, combine your semisweet chocolate chips and one tablespoon of coconut oil. In a second small microwave-safe bowl, combine your white chocolate chips and remaining one tablespoon of coconut oil and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.
- Pull back the leaves to use as a handle. Dip the prepped strawberries into the chocolate until fully coated, letting excess drop back into the bowl. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, drizzle the dipped strawberries with contrasting types of chocolate, either by dipping the tips of a fork into the melted chocolate and flicking your wrist back and forth over the strawberries, or by using a piping bag. I cut the corner from a small ziploc bag and use that to create a nice clean drizzle.
- Or, if desired, dip the chocolate strawberries into bowls of chopped pistachios, shredded coconut, crumbled oreos or sprinkles then set back onto the tray.
- Let the strawberries sit at room temperature for about one hour, until the chocolate firms. Serve and enjoy!
