Gourmet Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries are deliciously easy to make at home! Serve them for a special occasion such as Valentine’s Day, or give them as a gift, and they’re guaranteed to be a hit. Making them is simple! All that you need are fresh Florida strawberries, the chocolate to dip them in, and skewers to decorate with.

Ingredients

1 pound Florida strawberries
2 cups dark or milk chocolate chips or chocolate wafers
1/4 cup white chocolate chips or chocolate wafers

Method

Wash, drain, and pat your strawberries down with paper towels.
Melt your chocolate wafers. You can do this easily in the microwave using a microwave-safe bowl, preferably wide and with tall sides! Heat the chocolate for 15 seconds at a time, and then stir. Repeat as necessary until the chocolate has melted.
Skewer your strawberries, and then dip them in the chocolate. Swirl the strawberries in the chocolate just below their green tops to cover them completely.
Use a fork dipped in white chocolate to add streaks of white chocolate across the strawberries. Then, run a skewer down the sides, drawing lines into the chocolate to create an elegant pattern.
Refrigerate for approximately 15 minutes until the chocolate is set.
Enjoy your beautiful gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries!
