It is completely fine to omit for an oil free option.<\/p>\n<p>Note: This same recipe can be used to make other chocolate covered fruit, such as cherries, raspberries, or chocolate covered orange slices.<\/p>\n<p>A standard sixteen ounce container of strawberries from brands like Driscoll\u2019s is equal to one pound or about twenty to twenty four berries. I have not tried this recipe using frozen strawberries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Leftover strawberries?

Because water will make chocolate seize, it is very important to dry the berries completely before dipping in the chocolate sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Line a baking tray or large plate with parchment paper or wax paper, and set it aside. Or get out a piece of Styrofoam (see below). <\/p>\n<p>Melt your chocolate, either in a microwave or using the double broiler method below. For a smoother sauce, I like to stir in the optional oil after melting the chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>Dip each strawberry into the liquid chocolate, either holding it by the stem or using a skewer, spoon, or fork. <\/p>\n<p>Coat in any toppings you wish, then place the berry on the prepared tray. Once all strawberries are coated with chocolate, let them sit at room temperature to set the hard chocolate coating. Do not chill in the refrigerator, which could cause condensation to form on the berries.<\/p>\n<p>If desired, melt some white chocolate chips, peanut butter, Coconut Butter, or almond butter. Use a spoon to drizzle it over the hardened chocolate strawberries. Or pour the melted chocolate into a plastic bag, cut a tiny bit off the side of the bag to make a small hole, and squeeze the chocolate out in a swirl or your preferred design.<\/p>\n<p>The chocolate berries can be made ahead of time by a few hours or up to a day. If serving the day they are made, it is best to leave uncovered and to not refrigerate. However, if the chocolate covered strawberries will be sitting out for over eight hours, they should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for freshness.<\/p>\n<p>Leftover chocolate covered strawberries will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to two days or frozen in an airtight covered container for up to a month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"755a4d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #755a4d;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"990\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Tuxedo Strawberries\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83434\" title=\"Tuxedo Strawberries\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_18_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"755a4d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #755a4d;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_18_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\" alt=\"Tuxedo Strawberries\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83434\" title=\"Tuxedo Strawberries\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>The trick to pretty strawberries<\/h3>\n<p>If using parchment paper, chocolate covered strawberries may stick a little to the plate. They are still easy to remove, but the chocolate on one side may not look as beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>So I recommend using wax paper over parchment if you can. Or for perfect chocolate covered strawberries on all sides, place each berry on a skewer or toothpick and dip in chocolate. Stick the other end of the skewer into a piece of Styrofoam to let the berries dry. Once chocolate firms up, you can remove the strawberries and arrange on a plate. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"947667\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #947667;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"987\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Berries With Chocolate Sauce\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83465\" title=\"Berries With Chocolate Sauce\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_41_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"947667\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #947667;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"987\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_41_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\" alt=\"Berries With Chocolate Sauce\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83465\" title=\"Berries With Chocolate Sauce\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How to melt chocolate<\/h3>\n<p>The two best ways to melt chocolate are either in a microwave or by using a double broiler, as chocolate can quickly burn when heated directly on the stovetop. <\/p>\n<h4>Double broiler method<\/h4>\n<p>If not already in small pieces, finely break up the chocolate with a knife.<\/p>\n<p>Place the chocolate pieces in the top pan of a double broiler or in a heat safe mixing bowl over a saucepan or bottom double broiler filled with about an inch of simmering (not boiling) water.<\/p>\n<p>To emphasize: The water goes in the bottom pan. Do not let any water touch the chocolate chips in the top pan.<\/p>\n<p>Stir the chocolate until smooth, letting the steam indirectly heat and melt it slowly.<\/p>\n<h4>How to melt chocolate in the microwave<\/h4>\n<p>If using chocolate bars instead of chips, finely chop them with a knife.<\/p>\n<p>Place the chocolate in a completely dry and microwave safe bowl. Heat for 20 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Stir, then heat in ten second increments, stirring after each to ensure the chocolate does not burn.

It is completely fine to omit for an oil free option.<\/p>\n<p>Note: This same recipe can be used to make other chocolate covered fruit, such as cherries, raspberries, or chocolate covered orange slices.<\/p>\n<p>A standard sixteen ounce container of strawberries from brands like Driscoll\u2019s is equal to one pound or about twenty to twenty four berries. I have not tried this recipe using frozen strawberries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Leftover strawberries? Eat them with Homemade Nutella<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"99806e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #99806e;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2560\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Chocolate Dipped Strawberries\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83360\" title=\"Chocolate Dipped Strawberries\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_133_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"99806e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #99806e;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_133_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\" alt=\"Chocolate Dipped Strawberries\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83360\" title=\"Chocolate Dipped Strawberries\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How to make chocolate covered strawberries<\/h3>\n<p>Start by washing your strawberries, then placing them on a paper towel or cloth towel to dry. Because water will make chocolate seize, it is very important to dry the berries completely before dipping in the chocolate sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Line a baking tray or large plate with parchment paper or wax paper, and set it aside. Or get out a piece of Styrofoam (see below). <\/p>\n<p>Melt your chocolate, either in a microwave or using the double broiler method below. For a smoother sauce, I like to stir in the optional oil after melting the chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>Dip each strawberry into the liquid chocolate, either holding it by the stem or using a skewer, spoon, or fork. <\/p>\n<p>Coat in any toppings you wish, then place the berry on the prepared tray. Once all strawberries are coated with chocolate, let them sit at room temperature to set the hard chocolate coating. Do not chill in the refrigerator, which could cause condensation to form on the berries.<\/p>\n<p>If desired, melt some white chocolate chips, peanut butter, Coconut Butter, or almond butter. Use a spoon to drizzle it over the hardened chocolate strawberries. Or pour the melted chocolate into a plastic bag, cut a tiny bit off the side of the bag to make a small hole, and squeeze the chocolate out in a swirl or your preferred design.<\/p>\n<p>The chocolate berries can be made ahead of time by a few hours or up to a day. If serving the day they are made, it is best to leave uncovered and to not refrigerate. However, if the chocolate covered strawberries will be sitting out for over eight hours, they should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for freshness.<\/p>\n<p>Leftover chocolate covered strawberries will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to two days or frozen in an airtight covered container for up to a month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"755a4d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #755a4d;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"990\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Tuxedo Strawberries\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83434\" title=\"Tuxedo Strawberries\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_18_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"755a4d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #755a4d;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_18_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\" alt=\"Tuxedo Strawberries\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83434\" title=\"Tuxedo Strawberries\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>The trick to pretty strawberries<\/h3>\n<p>If using parchment paper, chocolate covered strawberries may stick a little to the plate. They are still easy to remove, but the chocolate on one side may not look as beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>So I recommend using wax paper over parchment if you can. Or for perfect chocolate covered strawberries on all sides, place each berry on a skewer or toothpick and dip in chocolate. Stick the other end of the skewer into a piece of Styrofoam to let the berries dry. Once chocolate firms up, you can remove the strawberries and arrange on a plate. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"947667\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #947667;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"987\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Berries With Chocolate Sauce\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83465\" title=\"Berries With Chocolate Sauce\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_41_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"947667\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #947667;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"987\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1675345635_41_Chocolate-Covered-Strawberries-Chocolate-Covered-Katie.webp.webp\" alt=\"Berries With Chocolate Sauce\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-83465\" title=\"Berries With Chocolate Sauce\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How to melt chocolate<\/h3>\n<p>The two best ways to melt chocolate are either in a microwave or by using a double broiler, as chocolate can quickly burn when heated directly on the stovetop. <\/p>\n<h4>Double broiler method<\/h4>\n<p>If not already in small pieces, finely break up the chocolate with a knife.<\/p>\n<p>Place the chocolate pieces in the top pan of a double broiler or in a heat safe mixing bowl over a saucepan or bottom double broiler filled with about an inch of simmering (not boiling) water.<\/p>\n<p>To emphasize: The water goes in the bottom pan.
