Fabulous Chocolate | More Style Than Cash

Homemade chocolate covered strawberries are the perfect anniversary or Valentine’s Day treat and only take 20 minutes to make. These treats are delicious and require minimal ingredients, but you should be careful when choosing chocolate. Choose a high-quality brand. While you can save money by using lower-quality chocolate, it will not give you a pretty finish. Instead, try Ghirardelli, Guittard, or other chocolates known for their good quality.nBefore dipping the strawberries, hold the berry by the stem. Then, insert a toothpick in each end of the stem, holding the strawberry at a 45-degree angle. The toothpick is necessary to hold the strawberry steady as you dip it. You can also gather the leaves of the strawberry to keep the chocolate from getting inside the berry. Once dipped, place the strawberries on a piece of wax paper to dry. The chocolate should harden in 15 minutes or so.nBefore coating the strawberries with chocolate, you should make sure that the strawberry is dry. If the strawberry is too moist, the chocolate will not stick to the berry and will drip off. In this way, the chocolate will not drip and the strawberry will look perfect. This recipe is a great way to impress a loved one or celebrate a special occasion. It’s also very easy to make and makes an excellent gift.nOnce you’ve melted your chocolate, it’s time to dip your strawberries. Dip the strawberry from the stem and allow it to soak for a few minutes. Let it set for about half an hour before serving, but make sure to refrigerate until they are firm, otherwise they may be hard to serve. Once hard, these chocolate covered strawberries can be stored in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Alternatively, you can eat them right away.nOnce you’ve melted your chocolate, prepare your strawberry skewers. For larger batches, you can use a double broiler. For smaller batches, you can use the microwave, or you can use a small fondue pot. If you need to make chocolate covered strawberries in bulk, you can use a small fondue pot for this purpose. But if you’re not a fan of using a microwave, you can use a double broiler to heat the chocolate.nWhen you’ve finished making your chocolate covered strawberries, you can decorate them in any way you like. Once you’ve decorated them, you can store them in the fridge for up to a couple of days. They’ll keep a day or two in the fridge, but they’re best eaten on the same day. But you can also serve them chilled or warm, depending on whether they’re frozen or not.nIf you’re looking for an easy dessert to make with only two ingredients, chocolate covered strawberries are an excellent choice.

Dark chocolate, with a minimum of 70% cocoa solids, is the most decadent choice for this delicious dessert. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time selecting chocolate, you can use bar chocolate or chips. Using high-quality chocolate will give your homemade dessert a more luxurious appearance.nTo prepare the chocolate covered strawberries, you’ll need some baking chocolate.
