Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Three little words can make me happy: chocolate-covered strawberries. Those red, heart-shaped fruits, that melted chocolate, together in one sweet, scrumptious bite.
Cost: $$
Ingredients
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 pound strawberries stems attached
Instructions
- Start by washing the strawberries and then drying them very well.
- Put the semisweet and white chocolate chips into two separate heatproof medium bowls. Fill two medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate chips in microwaveable bowls at half power, for 30 seconds intervals, removing and stirring at each 30 second interval, until melted.)
- Once the chocolate chips are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries.
- For a white chocolate drizzled strawberry, dip a fork in the melted white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries. Chill the strawberries until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.
