Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Dry the Strawberry – Make sure to clean the strawberries before decorating. We like to dry with a paper towel before dipping in the chocolate.
• Dipping Strawberry – Dip the strawberry in the chocolate on the bottom of the strawberry. Hold the top of the strawberry with the stem to easily dip in the chocolate.
• Type of Chocolate – Make sure to use quality chocolate or the best chocolate you can find at the store. You can also melt white chocolate chips or candy melts for a variety of colors.
• Excess Chocolate – You can use a fork to assist in dipping the strawberry.
• Melting Chocolate – Be careful melting chocolate in the microwave. Stir the chocolate after 30 second intervals to easily melt the chocolate. You can also melt the chocolate in a double boiler.

How long do Chocolate Covered Strawberries stay fresh?

These chocolate covered strawberries are best served within 2 days. Make sure to keep them refrigerated when not serving. They may last longer, you may just need to inspect them before eating.

Should Strawberries be cold before Dipping in Chocolate?

We recommend dipping strawberries once they have reached room temperature. The chocolate sticks to the strawberry better when they are at room temperature.
