Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Yield: 12 servings
These Chocolate Covered Strawberries look fancy and elegant, but are actually quick and easy to make, with just 3 ingredients! Perfect for gift-giving or any time you want a special, easy treat.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces chocolate almond bark roughly chopped
- 8 ounces good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips - I use Guittard semisweet chocolate chips
- 32 ounces ripe firm strawberries that are medium to large in size, washed and completely dried
Instructions
- Set up a double boiler, or make your own by placing a small saucepan of water over medium heat and bringing it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl over the pan, making sure it does not touch the surface of the water.
- Add the chocolate almond bark and chocolate chips to the bowl. Allow the chocolate to melt, stirring often. It should take about 5 to 10 minutes. When the chocolate has fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Hold the green top of one strawberry and dip it into the chocolate, leaving a small amount of red berry showing at the top. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and then place the strawberry on a piece of wax or parchment paper to set. Repeat with the remaining strawberries. To speed up the setting time, place the dipped strawberries in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Store the strawberries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
