How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries
- Wash 1 pound of fresh strawberries thoroughly and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- Remove the green stems from the strawberries and set aside.
- Place the strawberries on a paper towel-lined baking sheet or plate and allow them to reach room temperature. This helps the chocolate adhere better.
- In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 12 ounces of your favorite semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Stir occasionally until smooth and completely melted.
- Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and let it cool slightly. This prevents the chocolate from melting the strawberries too quickly.
- Dip each strawberry about 2/3 of the way into the melted chocolate, gently rotating to coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Place the chocolate-covered strawberries stem-side down on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
