 Chocolate Covered Strawberries

How many of you LOVE Chocolate Covered Strawberries? I know I do, in fact, I love them so much that I admit there have been times when I have spent way too many dollars on them!

But they’re so easy and relatively cheap to make at home, and I can make a lot more than the 6-packs the boutique candy stores like to sell for $20 a box!

And with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, there’s no better time to start making your own at home!

However, there’s always been something about Chocolate Covered Strawberries that I’ve always hated, and that’s that when you take that first bit, the rest of the shell cracks and falls away from the strawberry, therefore ruining the rest of the strawberry eating experience.

So this recipe solves that issue by adding a small amount of coconut oil into the chocolate. This keeps the chocolate softer after it sets and allows it to stick to the strawberry even when you bite into it.

I also like to add a touch of vanilla to my chocolate mixture because it intensifies the flavor a bit. It’s also fun to add sprinkles depending on the occasion or holiday!

This recipe will cover about 18 strawberries, but it can vary depending on their size. Always make sure to clean and dry strawberries before dipping in the chocolate.

How To Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries:

  1. In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave on 30-second intervals, stirring between each one until chocolate is smooth.
  2. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate making sure to cover all sides and place on wax paper to set.
  4. Add any remaining chocolate to a frosting or Ziploc bag and cut a tiny corner piece off and drizzle the remaining chocolate over the strawberries. You can add sprinkles if desired before the chocolate solidifies.
  5. Let the chocolate set for about 30 minutes, store in the fridge if not consuming immediately.

    I did about 6 oz chocolate to 8 grams coconut oil and the shell def fell away from the Strawberry when i bit into them. Is that bc I used too much coconut? I’m a noob and I was doing a trial run for a gift for a special friend having a rough vday this year, so any help would be appreciated. Would a light corn syrup work for ones I don’t want to taste the coconut? I noticed I could taste the coconut (at 8 grams per 6 ounces chocolate) for many that actually tastes really nice, but for some I plan to dip in crushed candies I was hoping for less “coconut taste”. Thanks for this recipe/blog it was a huge help. I noticed you advise a lot less oil that others (many I see a tbsp per cup or even more.

      Some chocolate cracking and falling off is normal but the coconut oil helps to prevent most of it. You should be using refined coconut oil which has no coconut flavor. Make sure your strawberries are completely dry before dipping and do not place them in the fridge to set. Let them set at room temperature and only place in the fridge if you need to. If you’re making them for tomorrow then I would just leave them on the counter in an airtight cobtainer.
