Chocolate Covered Strawberries

By , About.com Guide

Chocolate covered strawberries make an easy and elegant candy dessert. You can substitute white or milk chocolate for semi-sweet, or experiment with double-dipping the strawberries in different chocolates to vary the flavor and appearance.

Be sure to check out the video showing how to make chocolate covered strawberries!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 dozen ripe strawberries
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.

2. Wash the strawberries and dry them thoroughly.

3. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave them until they melt, stirring every 45 seconds. It should take about 2 minutes.

4. Holding a strawberry by the stem, dip it in chocolate, twirling it in a circular motion to evenly cover most of the berry. As you lift it from the chocolate, twirl it so that any excess chocolate drips back into the bowl.

5. Place the berry on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining berries and chocolate.

6. Once all of the berries are dipped, refrigerate them for 30 minutes to set the chocolate. These candies taste best when eaten the same day they are made.
