If you’ve never made chocolate covered strawberries you need to! They are so easy and fun to make and you save a lot of money making them yourself too!
I’ve been making chocolate covered strawberries for years. They are my favorite. I love making them for get togethers or just because. There is just something special about chocolate covered strawberries. And you can’t beat the pairing of chocolate and strawberries.
A few of my tips for making them.
- Use good quality milk chocolate chips. I use Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips. It’s my go-to when I make them and they are always so good.
- Use large, firm strawberries.
- Melt chocolate in 30 second increments and stir in between until it is smooth and creamy.
- Use a skewer to easily dunk strawberries into chocolate.
- Pat your strawberries dry before dunking in melted chocolate.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
- Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes until set, then transfer to refrigerator until ready to serve.
