how do i make chocalate covered strawberrys?

Question

you will only get the best answer if you describe step by step

Answer 1

Start with clean, dry strawberries that still have the stem attached.

Melt your favorite kind of chocolate in a bowl in the microwave in 1 minutes increments until well melted.

Dip strawberries in chocolate, using the them to hold the strawberry. Place on wax paper to dry/harden. This will take about 20 - 30 minutes.

Arrange on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Variation: Use dark chocolate and white chocolate. Dip in white chocolate first, then dip each side only in dark chocolate to make a "tuxedo". Then take a toothpick and dip it in the dark chocolate and use to make dots or "buttons" down the front of the white shirt.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Get some chocolate that is solid at room temprature; baker's chocolate works well.

Get some strawberries and clean them. Make sure they are dry.

Melt chocolate by breaking the bars into pieces no larger than 1"x1" and placing them in a bowl in the microwave. Heat at full power for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue the 30 seconds/stir step until the chocolate is fully melted.

Lay out some wax paper or parchment paper on a baking sheet, and bring your strawberries and chocolate by it.

Holding berries by stem, dip into the chocolate nearly to the crown of the berry, and place onto the wax paper. Repeat for all straw berries.

Place baking sheet with strawberries into fridge to set the chocolate, and keep chilled until ready to serve.

If you like, before placing them in the fridge you can melt some white chocolate in the same manner as described above, and carefully drizzle over strawberries using a spoon.

Bon appitito, lol

Answer 3

get a double boiler and and melt chocolate. Take whole strawberries with stem and wash them. Dip and swirl (to completely cover the bottom HALF of the strawberry. Do NOT make it too thick.
I had a chocolate strawberry at a 4 star restaurant and was horribly too thick and hard to bite and eat. You can not eat strawberry elegantly if you look like you are taking a bite out of a whole apple.
To finish, put the chocolate strawberrys on wax paper and put it in the fridge for the chocolate to harden overnight. Cover over night so it doesn't dry the exposed end of the strawberry.
Have a good event.

Answer 5

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES

2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
2 tablespoons shortening (do not use butter, margarine or oil*)
Fresh strawberries with stems, rinsed and patted dry

1. Cover tray with wax paper. In medium microwave-safe bowl, place chocolate chips and shortening.
Microwave at HIGH (100%) 1-1/2 minutes or just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred;
cool slightly.

2. Holding by top, dip 2/3 of each strawberry into chocolate mixture; shake gently to remove excess.
Place on prepared tray.

3. Refrigerate until coating is firm, about 30 minutes. Store, covered, in refrigerator.
Coats about 5 dozen small strawberries. (About 1 cup coating)


*Butter and margarine contain water which may prevent chocolate from melting properly
and oil may prevent chocolate from forming a coating.


HELPFUL HINT

Try melting chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals. After each interval, stir - even if there is no sign of melting. Once melted (usually after 4 or 5 cycles in the microwave) just dip, and set. In the culinary world this is called "tempering." Slowly melting and moving the chocolate like this will allow it to cure properly - within 4-8 minutes, and have a decent gloss, and reasonable bloom. I would also recommend leaving the dipped berries out of refrigeration until they are cured. Cooling them too rapidly can cause the fat to escape to the surface creating the sometimes unappealing white surface on dark chocolates (called "bloom"). Also, Guittard has chips in most grocery stores now. I would recommend them for tempering as far as mass distributed chips go.
