Simple Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Back in 2017, I posted a recipe idea for chocolate-dipped green apples. It’s still one of my favorite recipes here on the blog! Now that Valentine’s Day is coming up, I want to add my take on chocolate-dipped strawberries! A staple for any Valentine/Galentine get-together. I haven’t always liked chocolate. In fact, as I kid, I hated chocolate. I think my transformation from a chocolate hater to being okay with eating chocolate is fruit dipped in chocolate. Chocolate is still not my first choice when it comes to sweet treats but these chocolate-dipped strawberries are delicious and so easy to make!

Simple Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Ingredients:

Strawberries
Melting Chocolate (Semi-Sweet & White chocolate, I got mine in the baking aisle)
Sprinkles (optional)
Shredded Coconut (optional)
Slivered Almonds (optional)

Instructions:

Rinse and dry your strawberries. Do your best to keep the tops on.
Melt your chocolate according to the directions on the package. I used the double boiler method to melt mine.
Once the chocolate is melted, dip your strawberries making sure to cover the majority of the flesh. Lay them on a piece of parchment paper to dry.
This step is optional, before the chocolate dries, sprinkle your favorite toppings on the strawberries. I tried some marbling as well with both chocolates.
Allow the chocolate to dry and solidify on the strawberries for at least an hour. Store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve!
