Why You'll Love This Recipe

• You'll learn how EASY making chocolate-dipped strawberries is!
• The chocolate coating is a blend of both milk and dark chocolate!
• These juicy strawberries make a delicious dessert for Valentine's Day!

Ingredient Notes

• Dark Chocolate - The kind of chocolate I highly recommend using Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers or another good quality chocolate brand. You can substitute dark chocolate chips if you choose.
• Milk Chocolate - While I typically use the Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting wafers, milk chocolate chips work fine as a substitute here.
• White Chocolate - You can use white chocolate chips, but they don't set up with the distinct white color I want, so I use melting wafers or candy melts.
• Strawberries - Always fresh strawberries. Frozen strawberries are a big no.

How to Make

• Start by rinsing your strawberries under cold water, making sure there's no dirt stuck to them or the green leaves.
• Line the strawberries out on paper towels and use another paper towel to pat the strawberries and the green tops completely dry.
• Remove any strawberries that may be moldy or ones that are so ripe they're no longer firm but squishy.
• TIP- It's very, very, very important for the strawberries to be 100% dry before dipping them in the melted chocolate. If there are wet spots on the strawberries, the chocolate won't stick to the berries.
• Line a cookie sheet or baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
• My favorite way to melt chocolate is in a chocolate melting pot.

• I always use a 2:1 ratio, dark chocolate to milk chocolate, for chocolate dipped anything.
• So melt one 10 oz bag of dark chocolate wafers with 5 oz (half a 10 oz bag) milk chocolate wafers stirring as they melt.
• TIP - If using chocolate chips, 10z is 1+½ Cup dark chocolate chips. 5 oz is ¾ cup milk chocolate chips.
• Once the chocolate is melted, hold a strawberry firmly by the leaves and dip it in the melted chocolate mixture to coat nearly to the green leaves.
• Let the excess chocolate drip back into the melting pot.

• Line the chocolate-dipped strawberries in a single layer on the wax paper-lined sheet pan to set up.
• Melt the white chocolate in a small microwavable container.
• Spoon the melted white chocolate into a piping bag.
• Snip the end off just a little.
• Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the strawberries.
• Allow the chocolate to fully set up solid at room temperature before serving.
• Store in the fridge in a loosely covered container instead of an airtight container to avoid too much moisture being trapped in the container.
