How to Make Chocolate Covered Dipped Strawberries
- Wash 1 pound of fresh strawberries and gently pat them completely dry with paper towels. Remove the green leaves, leaving about 1/4 inch of stem attached for easy dipping.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 ounces of white chocolate coating wafers using the same method as above (30-second intervals, stirring until smooth).
- Holding strawberries by their stems, dip about half of each strawberry into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Dip the other half of each strawberry into the melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place the dipped strawberries on wax paper to set. Immediately sprinkle with your choice of toppings: chopped nuts (1/4 cup), shredded coconut (1/4 cup), sprinkles (2 tablespoons), or drizzle with the opposite melted chocolate.
- Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature (about 30 minutes) or speed up the process by chilling them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Once hardened, carefully place the strawberries in foil cups (optional) for easy serving and to prevent smudging.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Store any leftover strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
