Ingredients
  

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries about 1 pound
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate 12 ounces
  • ½ cup white chocolate chopped (3 ounces), for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Wash the strawberries under cool running water.
  • Gently pat them completely dry with paper towels. Allow them to air dry if any moisture remains.
  • Fill the bottom of a double boiler or saucepan with 1–2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Place the dark chocolate into the top of the double boiler or a heatproof bowl over the simmering water.
  • Stir occasionally until the chocolate becomes smooth and fully melted.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Holding each strawberry by its green leaves, dip it into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. This Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Recipe works best when each strawberry is fully dry before dipping.
  • Lift the strawberry and gently shake off any excess chocolate.
  • Place each coated strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Continue until all strawberries are coated.
  • Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for several minutes.
  • Melt the white chocolate using the same double-boiler method or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
  • Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small zip-top bag and snip a tiny corner.
  • Drizzle the white chocolate over the strawberries using quick sweeping motions.
  • Let the drizzle set before serving.

Notes

  • Choose firm, ripe strawberries with fresh green tops.
  • Do not wash strawberries too far in advance.
  • Add festive sprinkles for birthdays, weddings, or holidays.
  • Package in decorative boxes for homemade gifts.
  • These homemade chocolate covered strawberries are best enjoyed the day they are made.
