Give your sweetheart a sweet treats!
Valentines is right around the corner!! Do you have any ideas what to make or give to the one you love? Looking for something easy and delicious? We all need a little something extra to treat ourselves this year. Delicious chocolate covered strawberries are the easiest, quick and fun to make special Valentine's Day treats with the kids. Valentine's Day is an awesome time to celebrate love, especially the love of your family. My 4 year old daughter loves to help and enjoy eating the chocolate covered strawberries. She will lick and clean a chocolate bowl :D
Let's get started
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Ingredients
Fresh strawberries
Semisweet chocolate
White chocolate
Pink milk chocolate
Directions
- Wash the strawberries and dry them very well with the paper towel and set them on the countertop to bring them to the room temperature.
- Put the white chocolate, semisweet and pink milk chocolates into 3 separate microwave proof bowls.
- Melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power stir every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
- Line a baking sheet pan or plate with parchment or waxed paper.
- Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip into melted chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl.
- Lay strawberries on the prepared parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. (Coat in desired toppings if using) and allow them to rest until the chocolate has set.
- Use the parchment paper to make a cone and spoon different melted chocolate into a cone. Close the end of parchment paper all the way to the chocolate.
- Drizzle with melted white chocolate as desired.
- Add toppings such as chopped nuts (peanuts, pistachios, pecans, etc.), sprinkles, toasted coconut, any flavor mini chocolate chips, crushed Oreo cookies or crushed candy canes
11. Serve fresh to enjoy them best the same day they are made! Or refrigerate uncovered up to 1 -2 days maximum.
12. Do NOT freeze chocolate covered strawberries. The strawberries will release moisture and ruin the chocolate coating as they thawed.
13. Enjoy!
