Chocolate Coated Strawberries by Lisa Smith

I took these to my boyfriend’s mom’s birthday and she completely loved them! I even decided to make them again two days later for my dad’s birthday! Super easy and delicious!

Ingredients:

1 lb of fresh strawberries

8 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate

4 oz of white baking chocolate

8 oz of chopped walnuts (you might not need this much, depends)

Method:

First be sure to wash and dry each strawberry well. If the strawberry isn’t completely dry, the chocolate won’t hold properly and drip off.

Take a mug and fill it with the semi-sweet chocolate, microwave it for about 15-20 seconds. Mix the chocolate, and put it back into the microwave for another 15-20 seconds. Repeat this step until the chocolate is completely melted.

Take half of the strawberries and dip them into the chocolate. Not too far, you still want to see a little bit of the red. Set them on a plate covered with wax paper, and place them in the fridge to cool.

Take the chopped walnuts and place them into a bowl. Continue dipping the other half of strawberries, but after each dipping, roll the strawberry in the nuts, until completely covered. Once finished, also place these into the fridge.

Repeat the same process of melting the chocolate, but this time do it with the white. Grab the plain chocolate strawberries from the fridge, and drizzle the white chocolate over them with either a spoon or fork. Put them back in the fridge to continue cooling.

Enjoy!
