How to clean each strawberry?
Like every other fruit, you have to wash it before eating.
So washing each strawberry is very important too.
This helps to remove any debris that comes with it in the package.
To clean each strawberry, fill a bowl with cool water and gently move each around in the water.
Drain off that first bowl of water and continue to wash off with running water about two more times.
Place each strawberry on some paper towel or kitchen towel.
Allow to air dry or use a paper towel to dry each one.
How to make Chocolate Covered Strawberries?
Covering strawberries with melted chocolate can be very intimidating but I can assure you that it is very easy
First thing to do is to rinse and dry each strawberry.
Secondly, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Melt the chocolate as directed on the package.
Thirdly, dip the strawberry into the melted chocolate by holding the stem. Gently shake off any excess chocolate and place on the lined baking sheet to dry.
For the ones with a skewer: remove the stem and then insert the skewer at the top. Repeat the process.
Finally, allow to dry by placing them in the refrigerator to harden quicker. Enjoy.
To Decorate Chocolate Covered Strawberries
It is so easy to decorate each chocolate covered strawberry because you decide how you want to decorate it.
For this recipe, I pour some of the melted chocolate in a small ziploc bag and cut a very small part off the pointed end with a scissor.
Make sure it’s not too big, or else the melted chocolate will be coming too much.
Drizzle the white chocolate over the dark chocolate covered strawberries and do the same for the dark chocolate over the white chocolate covered strawberries.
It may not come out perfect the first attempt, like those Chocolate Covered Strawberries delivery online services or from the bakery around the corner.
But don’t worry, mine aren’t either.
