Valentine's Berry Love Bites
A delightful and easy treat, these chocolate-covered strawberries are perfect for Valentine's Day or any romantic occasion.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Microwave-safe Bowl
- Paper towel
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries about 24 large
- 10 ounces chocolate chips semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate all work
Instructions
- First, line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Gently wash your strawberries to remove any dirt. The most important step for perfect dipping is to pat each strawberry thoroughly dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry and at room temperature. If they're cold or damp, the chocolate won't stick properly!
- Place your chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in short bursts, about 20 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler on the stove, stirring until it's silky.
- Hold each strawberry by its green leaves. Dip it slowly into the melted chocolate, rotating to coat almost to the top. Lift the strawberry and gently tap or scrape any excess chocolate off the bottom against the edge of the bowl.
- Carefully place the dipped strawberries on your prepared baking sheet. Let them sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely. For a quicker set or if you prefer them chilled, pop them into the refrigerator.
- Your beautiful chocolate-covered strawberries are now ready to be enjoyed! Feel free to add a decorative chocolate drizzle for an extra touch of flair.
