Chocolate Covered Strawberries

[SueFNMusings]

Hi lushiouslocks21,

I prefer a semi sweet or dark chocolate for these strawberries, but if you like milk chocolate better, then go for it! Melt it in exactly the same way..

Have a great holiday!

[lushiouslocks21]

Can I use any kind of choclate you know hersey ect.?

[ichijofangirl1]

This is tempered chocolate right?

[SueFNMusings]

@ichijofangirl1 No Ma'am, it's not. This is how easy it is. I just melt 4 ounces of dark chocolate (it can be chips) with 1 tablespoon of Crisco (in the microwave, usually) and stir really well. That will coat 12 to 15 large strawberries. Then I melt the same amount of white chocolate and Crisco and dip the strawberries a second time in that. Any leftover chocolate I drizzle over. Actually, it's better to do the white chocolate first and then the dark chocolate. Good luck!

[ichijofangirl1]

@SueFNMusings Okay, Thank you so much =3

[SueFNMusings]

@ichijofangirl1 My great pleasure!

[Nanepegas]

@SueFNMusings she said her mouth filled with water and mine too ...

[kiranbudhrani]

maybe the white chocolate should be placed first before the dark chocolate?

[SueFNMusings]

@kiranbudhrani Definitely! Two seconds after I filmed it, THAT'S exactly what I said.

[iiBeLizzY4EvA]

must have chocolate! MUST HAVE CHOCOLATE!

[SueFNMusings]

@0143007337 They were! Thanks.

[HolidaysOnDemand]

very cool! I just put up a video of my own, with chocolate covered strawberries. I even had a bowl made of chocolate! Let me know what you think :)

[SueFNMusings]

@HolidaysOnDemand Very well done! I enjoyed it!

[bhermoth]

i tried making this one day...it was ok but i hated how the strawberry was like soggy...squishy...is there a way to prevent that

[SueFNMusings]

@bhermoth Hi there! The strawberries gets squishy and soggy if you put them in the refrigerator after they're coated in the chocolate. You should eat these on the day they're made and they'll be fine.

[MegaMurtry]

@bhermoth do prevent the from being squishy in the microwave do the following. On the bottom of the storing contaner put a paper towl with baking soda on it. put on strawberries then cover. doin this should keep your strawberrie for about a week.

[GirlArmy21]

[SueFNMusings]

@GirlArmy21 Aren't you sweet? Thank you so much GirlAmy21. Your doggy cake is adorable.

[SueFNMusings]

@smeraldalili I THINK that means you like them. Thanks so much!

[GehennaSlumberParty]

I had an idea for Christmas chocolate covered strawberries, can I pull off mixing the white chocolate with green food coloring or is there another way for a green chocolate?

[SueFNMusings]

@GehennaSlumberParty Sure you can! Go for it. Or you could roll the just-dipped strawberries in green sugar or green sprinkles.

[themaryloosisters]

OMG y.u.m.m.y !!!!!!!!!!!!

[SueFNMusings]

@themaryloosisters Thanks so much. They really are!

[Aznzmangoo]

How long can you keep the strawberries in the fridge for? Can you keep it i the fridge for about 15 hours and still be good? Do you need to take the strawberries out and let it cool in room temperature? How long?

[SueFNMusings]

@Aznzmangoo The best thing is to make the chocolate covered strawberries (and eat them) the same day. They can certainly stay out all day-12 hours is fine-as long as it's not too hot in the room. You should refrigerate any leftovers. They can be eaten for a few days after, but the strawberries get mushy. It's not necessary to bring them to room temperature, the strawberries might get even more weepy. They're safe to eat from the fridge, they're just not as good.

[Einjuru]

ooooooh it looks sooo yummy D:

[sparklesmagic]

can i have one? hehe =3

[veltins74]

For melting a chocolate of any% of cocoa you use the same technique, break the choc bar into equally small pieces in microwave oven safe dish, and leave first three periods for 20 sec in the microwave oven (normal program), and then put out and mix for 20 sec with spoon and so on, when starts melting you leave in the mic oven for 10 sec and 10 sec for mixing. The temp of melted choc. have to be no more than 113 F (45°C), and working temp for dipping no less than 88 F (31°C)

[SnailMail909]

wow they look so yummy! i think i'll go make some right now, i just bought some strawberries! i think they look so pretty the way you decorated them.

[iwgpytfabt]

nom? =D

[MrDefryn]

Here's a tip, use a piece of baking paper and fold it into a very small piping bag, so you an draw nice decorations, You should also wait until the chocolate becomes very hard before you continue with the second layer, I'm a Belgian chocolate artisan, so if you would like to have some more tips... just ask

[TheVittleVlog]

Easy enough! Thanks for the lesson!

[Kpsan82]

yummmie

[SueFNMusings]

They are! And you can make them too...

[blueangel8094]

I can"t wait to try this @ home,very excited

[ilovekandii214]

pretty but how much chocolate did you use?

[SueFNMusings]

@ilovekandii214

4 ounces of dark chocolate melted with 1 tablespoon of Crisco will coat 12 to 15 large strawberries. Then I melt the same amount of white chocolate and Crisco and dip the strawberries a second time in that. Any leftover chocolate I drizzle over.

[LookUpAndDream]

Yummy Strawberries! My daughter and I made some the other day!

[SueFNMusings]

Thanks! I love making them. So easy and festive.

[Lilbluerocket]

[SueFNMusings]

You're too sweet! Thanks so much.

[cmariamagda]

Wonderful!!!!!!!

[SueFNMusings]

Hi GrawrJar,

If you only have chocolate syrup, then just pour it over the strawberries and enjoy. Don't try to coat them in it. The sauce will just drip off. A little vanilla ice cream wouldn't hurt either.

[GrawrJar]

what if I only have chocolate syrup

[SueFNMusings]

Please enjoy. You're awfully nice to comment.

[anaelizondo]

thiis are reaaally goood.

i'll probably use this video to cover 100 strawberries with both sides (chocolate-white chocolate)

(without the fork chocolate decoration)

[SueFNMusings]

Thanks, Michael. Try them.

[michael4018]
