How do you get chocolate to stick to strawberries?
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Dip the strawberries in melted chocolate. Coat in desired toppings. Lay the strawberries on prepared baking sheet and allow them to rest until the chocolate has set.
Should strawberries be cold before dipping in chocolate?
It is very hard because strawberries are made of 90% water. Do not dip when they are very cold, try to use room temperature strawberries. For an even better result, do not put them in the refrigerator but in a cold place.
What kind of chocolate is best for dipping?
The ideal chocolate for melting and dipping is called “couverture” chocolate. (Find it here and here.) Couverture chocolate has a higher ratio of cocoa butter to cocoa, which helps it melt more smoothly. If you can’t find couverture, use the best quality chocolate that you can find.
Is it better to make chocolate covered strawberries the night before?
Make These Ahead Of Time

Can I use Hershey Kisses as melting chocolate?
You may use Hershey chocolate kisses instead of chocolate chips as substitute. The melting point of Hershey kisses is 108 degrees Fahrenheit and the microwaving time will vary depending on how many kisses you are melting.
Do you refrigerate chocolate covered strawberries after you make them?
Do chocolate covered strawberries need to be refrigerated? If you’re planning on saving your chocolate covered strawberries for more than one day, yep, they’ll need to be refrigerated.
How do I make sure chocolate covered strawberries don’t stick?
Leave them uncovered and in a single layer on a lined baking sheet to avoid from sticking to the baking sheet. Don’t use aluminum foil because it can easily tear and then you end up with bits of foil on your strawberries. Use either baking paper, a silicone mat or wax paper and store in the refrigerator!
Why are my chocolate covered strawberries wet?
Why Do Chocolate Covered Strawberries Sweat? The sweat is just condensation. Both the chocolate and strawberries contain water and when they are subjected to a big temperature change, like going from a chilly fridge to a comfortable room temperature, this brings out the moisture.
Why won’t my chocolate covered strawberries harden?
For best results, don’t refrigerator your strawberries unless necessary. Set chocolate at room temperature and store at room temperature. If you are in a warm climate and need to refrigerate your strawberries to set, then allow 15-30 minutes to harden in the refrigerator, then remove.
Can I use any chocolate for melting?
All chocolate will melt, but not all chocolate will resolidify nicely. Often, after chocolate melts it develops as dull, almost chalky appearance. It can also be brittle, rather than snappy. Good melting chocolate will melt at low temperatures and become smooth if done correctly.
Why is my melted chocolate not hardening?
A: It could be that your room temperature is too high. Candies need to be dipped and then left to set in a room that is between 65 and 68 F. It could also be that the chocolate wasn’t tempered. Untempered chocolate takes quite a bit longer to set.
Can I just melt chocolate chips for dipping?
Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave at 30 second intervals. Stir chocolate in between each 30 seconds so all of the chips are just about melted.
