Description
Valentine’s Chocolate Covered Strawberries are the ultimate sweet and romantic treat. Juicy, ripe strawberries are dipped in silky melted chocolate and decorated with festive toppings — perfect for Valentine’s Day gifts, dessert platters, or romantic evenings in.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, rinsed and dried thoroughly
- 8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 4 oz white chocolate, chopped (optional for drizzling)
- Optional toppings: crushed freeze-dried strawberries, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prep Strawberries: Make sure strawberries are completely dry (chocolate won’t stick to wet fruit). Leave green tops on for easy dipping.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Repeat with white chocolate in a separate bowl if using.
- Dip: Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Decorate: Drizzle with melted white chocolate or add toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for best results. Let strawberries come to room temp before dipping to avoid condensation. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
