Happy Valentines Day! I couldn't think of anything more festive other than chocolate covered strawberries to make for valentines. Jimmy helped me with putting chocolate on the strawberries, and it ended up being a fun couples activity. It was more interesting trying to keep Jimmy from eating all the strawberries and chocolate! Good thing I bought two cases of strawberries ;)
What you will need:
1 lb of strawberries
10 oz of semi sweet chocolate
If you want to decorate the chocolate, you can get white chocolate to drizzle on top of the dark chocolate, or vice versa.
Get dippin' ya'll:
You can melt your chocolate two ways:
1) By using a double boiler
2) Microwave
I used the microwave. I emptied the chocolate into the bowl, cooked for 2 minutes, stirred the chocolate around, and cooked for another 2 minutes. Put parchment paper on a plate, dip the strawberries, and place in the freezer for a few hours until the chocolate has cooled.
Jimmy rated the strawberries a perfect 10/10! We waited like 5 minutes and decided that they were frozen enough because we couldn't wait. We ate three and put them back into the freezer, which ended up being a bad idea. We left them in the freezer over night. The strawberries were completely frozen, so we moved them to the fridge. The strawberries ended up thawing out and getting soggy, so we left them out and that messed them up even more. O well. We would reccomend putting them in the fridge after you make them so they cool off, yet not freeze
