Hello friends, today while my son, DH and I were watching PBS Kids Sprout, and a TV commercial about chocolate covered strawberries showed up on every commercial break. The berries looked so delicious but after hearing how much half a dozen would cost ($19.99 plus shipping), and since I already had all the ingredients on hand, I decided to make some myself. First, I washed and dried the fresh strawberries. I put them in the freezer for 15 minutes. Second, I melted the chocolate following the instruction from the package. I used Ghirardelli premium chocolate chips for baking, bittersweet chocolate and white classic. Then I dipped each strawberry into the melted bittersweet chocolate, covering it in a layer of chocolate almost to the top. I let the chocolate to drip off the excess and then placed each strawberry on a tray lined with wax paper. I put them in the fridge for 5 minutes while I was preparing the white chocolate to decorate them. As you can see, it was very easy to do and so much fun that even my dear husband helped me to decorate some of them. They looked very good and tasted delicious!
Thanks for stopping by!
