Chocolate Covered Strawberries
These chocolate-covered strawberries are easy to make and make for a great surprise on Valentine's Day.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries
- 10 ounces chocolate chips (you can use any type you like: semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate)
Optional for rolling
- chopped roasted peanuts or pecans
Instructions
- Start by washing and drying your strawberries VERY well. If the strawberries are wet, then the chocolate will not stick to them.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you're planning on rolling the strawberries in nuts, place the nuts in a shallow dish now.
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring each time.
- Hold the strawberry by the stem and dip it into the chocolate. Then roll it into the nuts, if using. Place the strawberry on the baking sheet.
- Repeat with all the strawberries, then chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Enjoy!
