The Most Gorgeous Chocolate Covered Strawberries
These amazing chocolate covered strawberries are not only tasty but easy to make! Celebrate your next romantic occasion with these delicious treats!
Ingredients
- 1 pack fresh strawberries
- 1 cup white candy melts
- 1 cup red candy melts
- Red, White and Pink Sprinkles
Instructions
- Rinse and drain your strawberries
- Pat them dry on a paper towel ensuring no water left on them, as this will harden the chocolate.
- Melt the candy melts for 45 seconds at regular temp in your microwave.
- Stir and return to the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Stir until smooth, if a few lumps are still present, return to microwave in 15 second increments until it is all melted and smooth.
- Once the chocolate is melted set up your workstation with parchment paper, sprinkles and chocolate.
- Stick a skewer through the top of the strawberry and dip into the chocolate, run the bottom across the side of the bowl to help drain off excess chocolate.
- Place onto parchment paper and let air dry 10-15 mins.
Add sprinkles immediately if you are not going to add a second color or design. - If adding a second color (as pictured) let the strawberries set completely before creating a pattern on the berries.
- Cut a small hole in the tip of the piping bag and squeeze melted chocolate as you move your hands in a back and forth motion across the top of the berries, careful not to touch the tip of the bag on the set chocolate.
- Add sprinkles or leave as is. Let set fully 15-20 mins before serving.
Notes
The chocolate should not be piping hot, this will burn it. It will be melted and should easily flow from piping bag.
