A quick and simple recipe for chocolate covered strawberries that’s perfect for kids to help with. This treat is easy to make, delicious, and great for sharing special moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) fresh strawberries, washed and dried thoroughly
  • 8 oz (225 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 oz (115 grams) milk chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2 oz (60 grams) white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • Sprinkles or crushed nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Keep the green stems attached for easier handling. (Time: 5 minutes)
  2. Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of vegetable or coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well between each, until smooth and glossy (about 1 to 1.5 minutes). Alternatively, melt chocolate gently on the stovetop using a double boiler.
  3. Hold each strawberry by the stem or use a fork/toothpick to dip it into the melted chocolate. Swirl to coat evenly, then let excess drip back into the bowl. Place dipped strawberry on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. While chocolate is still wet, optionally sprinkle with crushed nuts, sprinkles, or drizzle melted white or milk chocolate for decoration.
  5. Allow strawberries to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
  6. Once set, transfer strawberries to a serving plate or container and enjoy. Best eaten the same day.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing. Melt chocolate slowly and stir frequently to avoid burning. Use parchment paper for easy removal. Chill strawberries after dipping to speed setting but avoid long refrigeration to prevent chocolate bloom. Reheat chocolate briefly if it thickens during dipping.
