Description
Chocolate covered strawberries are a quick, make-ahead dessert made with fresh strawberries and melted chocolate. Perfect for parties, gifting, or a simple sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries (about 24 strawberries)
- 10 ounces chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry. Let them come to room temperature.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by the leaves and dip into the chocolate, rotating to coat evenly.
- Shake off excess chocolate and place on the baking sheet.
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes or refrigerate briefly.
Notes
- Use completely dry strawberries so the chocolate adheres properly.
- High-quality chocolate melts more smoothly and tastes better.
- Decorate with chocolate drizzle once the coating sets.
