Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb medium/large strawberries with the leaves on at room temperature, washed and dried
- 6 oz milk chocolate morsels (you can also use semi sweet or dark)
- 6 oz white chocolate morsels
- Toppings of your choice like chocolate sprinkles and chopped pecans
Instructions
- Melting the Chocolate In A Double Boiler: Place the chocolate in a medium size bowl.
- Fill up a medium pot with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water and bring it to a boil.
- Place the bowl with the chocolate on top of the pot making sure the water does not touch the bowl. Stir until the steam melt all the chocolate morsels. Process continues in step 7 below.
- Melting the Chocolate In the Microwave: Place the chocolate in a medium size bowl.
- Place the bowl with the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Take out the bowl from the microwave and stir. Keep doing this process in 30 second intervals until all the chocolate morsels have melted. Process continues in step 7 below.
- Hold the strawberries from the leaves and dip them into the chocolate. Make sure all sides are covered, let the excess chocolate drip off and place them on wax or parchment paper to dry.
- To decorate them, you can dip them in the sprinkles or chopped pecans after covering them with the chocolate. You can also drizzle the milk chocolate strawberries after they have dried with the white chocolate by dipping a fork in the white chocolate and waving it quickly over each strawberry. Use the same technique to decorate the white chocolate strawberries with the fork dipped in the milk chocolate.
- Let all the strawberries set at room temperature and serve.
Notes
Do not store the strawberries in the refrigerator or make them the day before because condensation tends to form and this will make the chocolate peel off.
