EASY Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Easy Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries are delicious sweet treats you can whip up in a matter of minutes. A wonderful healthy treat for the whole family to enjoy! And what a lovely surprise for Valentines Day! Delicious fresh fruit, dark chocolate, and lots of antioxidants, what could be better?
How To Make Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
1. First, you will need to rinse strawberries under cold water, then gently pat dry on paper towels. And set them aside.
2. Next, you can melt dark chocolate either on stove top using a double boiler, or in a microwave. Which ever method you prefer is fine.
The only thing you need to remember is that chocolate hates water. When you are melting chocolate, be careful not to allow it in contact with water, it will be unworkable. Also, chocolate burns easily, so it’s best to melt chocolate slowly.
3. Then, take each strawberry, using the stem to handle them easier, and dip 3/4 of the strawberry into the melted chocolate, carefully twirling it to cover the strawberry, and place onto a serving platter lined with wax paper.
4. Set them aside to cool.
QUICK TIPS for SUCCESS!
