Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Chocolate covered strawberries are a simple and classic dessert for kids, date night, Valentines Day, parties, etc.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Organic strawberries
- 2 cups Cold water
- ½ cup White vinegar
- 16 oz. Dark chocolate
- 8 oz. White Chocolate
- Sprinkles optional
- Gold foil optional
- Edible glitter optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the water and vinegar. Add in the strawberries and allow them to soak for approximately 10 minutes (If any strawberries appear bruised or have blemishes discard).
- Rinse the strawberries with lukewarm water and dry carefully. Transfer the strawberries to a cooling rack lined with paper towels. Cover the strawberries with plastic wrap and refrigerator overnight (allows the strawberries to completely dry before dipping into chocolate).
- Remove the strawberries from the refrigerator and allow them to reach room temperature.
- Melt the chocolate as desired.
- Once the chocolate is melted begin dipping the strawberries. Grab the strawberries by the steam and dip them into the chocolate.
- Remove any excess chocolate from the bottom of the berry by scraping using the edge of the bowl or cup.
- Place the chocolate covered strawberry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow to set.
- Decorate the chocolate covered strawberries as desired. If adding sprinkles be sure to add them before the chocolate sets on the berries.
- Store the decorated strawberries in an airtight container for up to 48 hours. We highly recommend to eat right away.
