So my first time making chocolate strawberries went very well! And delicious if I do say so myself! Here's what I did.
What you need:
- 2 bags of Wilton Candy Melts
- 2 packages of strawberries
- Cupcake liners
- Sprinkles (you can do nuts also)
- Mug
- Spoon
- Paper towels
- Parchment paper (I used tin foil because that all I had!)
- Sm shot glasses
Okay do you have all that?
My Steps
1- Organize everything before you start!
~ Pour sprinkles in shot glasses.
~ Lay parchment paper on a cookie sheet or flat surface.
~ Pour some of the chocolate ships in a mug.
2- Rinse strawberries & dry them off good with paper towels, you don't want them wet or the chocolate won't stick! I did enough to fill my small plate instead of all of them at once.
3- Melt chocolate (directions are on the back!)
~ I filled my mug half way with the melts.
~ Place in microwave for 30 seconds.
~ Stir well or the bottom will burn and their is no saving it!
~ Do it for another 30 seconds.
~ Stir again and you're ready to dunk!
4- Grab your strawberry by the very top but don't just hold the green cause it may come off, swirl it in the chocolate. I held the mug tilted so I could push the chocolate to the front and sometimes used a spoon.
5- Decorate!
~ I filled each shot glass with different sprinkles, some people do nuts too! But I hate nuts... I did all Christmas colors! But I recommend doing some plain, as not everyone likes stuff on theirs.
~You can even get different color chocolates by Wilson Candy Melts.
~ Perfect for any holiday!
6- Place he decorated strawberry on the cookie sheet to harden. They dry pretty fast!
7- I repeated the process a bunch of times because I needed to make a bunch for Christmas day.
8- Get a serving tray and place them nicely on it to make it perfect for when you put it out. I decided to put one strawberry each in a cupcake liner, that way it was easy finger food and you had something to catch any chocolate that breaks off as you eat! I did Christmas liners.
9- When you are all done place in fridge right up until serving time!
So that was just the way I did it. Their are a bunch of other ways, you can even do stove top melting... but that was too much work for me. The whole process to me about an hour!
