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.

Couple Things I Recommend

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.
  • Click here for How to Melt Chocolate in a Double Boiler
  • Click here for How to Melt Chocolate in a Microwave
  • 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+ยฝ Cup dark chocolate chips. 5 oz is ยพ 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.

Recipe FAQs

How do you get chocolate to stick to strawberries?

Dry the strawberries COMPLETELY! Moisture between the berries and the chocolate is the cause of the chocolate not sticking.

Should strawberries be cold before dipping in chocolate?

No, mine are cold when I pull them out of the fridge, but by the time I wash and dry them, they're room temperature. It's never been a problem.

Can I make white chocolate strawberries instead?

Yes, just melt white chocolate melting wafers instead of regular chocolate and dip them the same way. I would choose a higher quality white chocolate than white chocolate chips, however. Melting wafers are a better choice here.
