I have never actually made chocolate covered strawberries but I figured with two ingredients, how could you possibly go wrong?!!? Moe LOVES strawberries so I figured that this was a thoughtful gift that he'd enjoy since we really weren't going to exchange presents this year (as are most years because we are on a tight budget). I didn't really have a recipe but again, two ingredients so I thought I'd wing it. It turned out pretty well. The only complaint was that the chocolate was a bit lumpy so I'd recommend using double broiler next time instead of the microwave AND chopping the chocolate before heating.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Source: Miss J Original
Serves: 2 servings
10 strawberries, rinsed but stems left on
1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips (probably better if chopped up)
1 tsp of water (if necessary to thin out the chocolate)
In a microwave safe bowl or a double broiler, melt chocolate. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate and place on wax paper (or parchment paper). Place in fridge for 20 minutes while chocolate sets. Serve slightly chilled.

next time you can heat a pot of water, put a glass mixing bowl on over it. add in the chocolate. the heat from the hot water heating the glass mixing bowl will melt the chocolate. no double boiler needed and no water either. comes up smooth and pretty each time :)
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I'll have to try that next time :)
