Strawberries in Chocolate: make your own chocolate covered strawberries

Two of the greatest things in life are chocolate and fresh strawberries, but strawberries with chocolate (when combined) are even better.  Chocolate covered strawberries make are great Valentine’s Day dessert.  In this post we will help you to make this delectable treat so that you can treat yourself without breaking the bank.

You will need

·         a double boiler pan or a microwave safe bowl
·         1 1/4 cups of milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet if you prefer)
·         9 large strawberries

Stovetop directions   

1.       Melt the chocolate: Get your double boiler and fill the bottom pan half way with water and set it on the burner on high.  When the water comes to a simmer, put the double boiler pan on top and poor the chocolate chips into it.  Stir the chocolate with a heat proof spatula until the chocolate is smooth (about 3-5min).  When the chocolate is smooth, take the pan off the burner.  If the chocolate stays on the heat too long it will have a little bit of a white coloring to it when it dries (you don't want this).  The picture bellow shows the melted chocolate when it is almost completely melted.

 

2.       Dip the strawberries: Take the strawberries (after they have been washed and dried) by the leaves and dip them in the chocolate until they are nice and covered.  Put them on a greased plate or waxed paper and put them into the fridge so that the chocolate can harden (about 30min)
