How to Make Easter Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
1. Prepare the Strawberries
- Wash and completely dry the strawberries using a paper towel.
- Moisture prevents the chocolate from sticking, so make sure they are dry before dipping!
💡 Tip: Leave the green stems on for easy dipping!
2. Melt the Milk Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add:
✔ Milk chocolate chips
✔ 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil - Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
3. Dip the Strawberries
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted milk chocolate.
- Let excess chocolate drip off before placing it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
💡 Tip: For a thicker chocolate layer, dip twice, letting the first layer set before dipping again!
4. Let the Chocolate Set
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray and let them set at room temperature or in the fridge for 10 minutes.
5. Melt the White Chocolate
- In another bowl, repeat the melting process with:
✔ White chocolate chips
✔ 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
💡 Tip: If using food coloring, mix it into the melted white chocolate before dipping.
6. Decorate the Strawberries
- Dip cooled milk chocolate strawberries halfway into the melted white chocolate.
- Quickly add edible decorations before the chocolate hardens:
✔ Pastel sprinkles for an Easter egg effect
✔ Candy eyes for bunny faces
✔ Mini chocolate chips for polka dots
💡 Tip: Use a toothpick or piping bag to draw zigzags, stripes, or polka dots with contrasting colors!
7. Chill Until Set
- Place the decorated strawberries in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to completely harden.
8. Serve & Enjoy!
- Arrange on a decorative platter, in an Easter basket, or on a dessert table!
💡 Tip: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days (if they last that long!).
Pro Tips for the Best Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
✔ Dry Strawberries Completely – Wet strawberries cause the chocolate to seize and slide off.
✔ Use High-Quality Chocolate – Melting wafers or high-quality chips give the best results.
✔ Chill Between Layers – Let the first chocolate layer set before adding a second for clean lines.
✔ Decorate Quickly – Chocolate sets fast, so add sprinkles immediately!
