Chocolate covered strawberries are a delicious (and visually pleasing) treat! Last Saturday I decided to try making them, and they did not disappoint.

I created this recipe card on Canva – which tells you the necessary ingredients. Unsurprisingly – you need chocolate and strawberries. I found these giant strawberries at the store and they were perfect – and I also grabbed 2 bags of chocolate chips (one semi-sweet and one white).

When I got home, I began by washing the strawberries and then patting them dry with a towel. My roommate let me know that this step is very important – to make sure that the chocolate sticks to the strawberries. I then prepared my station by covering a pan with tinfoil. After that, microwaved the semi-sweet chocolate in 30 second increments – stirring each time. Once it was fully melted, I began dunking the strawberries! This was very easy and luckily my strawberries were dry enough that the chocolate stuck very well each time. I dipped about two thirds of the strawberries and then let them sit while I moved on to the white chocolate strawberries.

Here is what they looked like at this point:

I then repeated the same process with the white chocolate – also went very smoothly!

The most tricky part was creating the designs on the tops of the strawberries. I had planned to drizzle semi-sweet chocolate on top of the white chocolate strawberries and then vice versa.

However, when I went to drizzle the semi-sweet chocolate – it fell in globs! I tried to melt the chocolate more, and I tried adding milt – but I could not make it the proper consistency for drizzling. To remedy this – I decided to make hearts on the white chocolate strawberries. This ended up working very well and I am very happy with how they turned out!

I ended up being able to drizzle the white chocolate very well – which was interesting to see!

After this I just left them to dry and then they were all done!

Here is a closer look at the result:
