Best Homemade Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipes

AMY'S CHOCOLATE COVERED, HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOW DIPPED STRAWBERRIES!

Steps:

• 1. Wash strawberries and let dry completely. If they are not all the way dry the marshmallow will not stick.
• 2. spred out and lightly greas enough wax paper to place strawberries on after they are dipped.
• 3. In a larg mixing bowl (I use my kitchen aid mixer bowl) sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water; set aside.
• 4. In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining water. Bring to a boil, stiring occasionally. Cook without strring, until a candy thermometer reads 240* (soft-ball sstage)
• 5. Remove from heat and gradully add to gelatin in small stream while beating. Beat on high speed until mixture is thick and the volume has doubled, about 15minuts, it should look like marshmallow cream, beat in vanilla extract. Start next step immediately
• 6. Either buy holding on to the stem or by inserting a wood or bamboo skewers into the stem end carefully dip in marshmallow then set on wax paper. work quicky marshmallow will start to set kinda fast.
• 7. When you are done dipping the strawberries in the mashmallow let them set for about 45min to and hour to let set up a little. There will probably be marshmallow remaining I drop it by spoon full onto the greased wax paper, then toss in powdered sugar (some times I add cocoa power to it) when set up, and store in an air tight container. I like to play around with the extra! You can try all sorts of fun stuff!
• 8. After strawberries with marshmallows have set up a little melt chocolate almond bark or just chocolate in microwave or double boiler. If you are in a hurry I would use almond bark, it sets up way faster then real chocolate. Dip strawberries in chocolate far enough so you can just see the marshmallow peaking out. return to wax paper and allow chocolate to harden.
• 9. Peal strawberries from wax paper and serve! I like to sprinkl with a little powdered sugar.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Pick the best strawberries and rinse with cool water. You might need more than one container to pick enough that are good for dipping.
• 2. Dry the strawberries by lifting the leaves and wrapping a paper towel around each one. Give a gentle squeeze. This removes any beads of water that would otherwise cause the candy coating to seize-up and be unusable.
• 3. Set strawberries on a paper towel to completely dry and come up to room temperature for 30 minutes. (Fresh strawberries will want to weep a little once they are dipped into the warm chocolate. They will weep less if they are at room temperature when dipped).
• 4. Lay parchment paper on the counter.
• 5. Pour candy melts into a small glass bowl.
• 6. Melt the candy melts in the microwave at 30 seconds intervals for a total of 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring between intervals. Once they look almost completely melted, they are done. Stir and stir until smooth. (If they seem too thick to dip easily, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of shortening and stir until it smooths out.)
• 7. With leaves lifted, dip half of the strawberries in the dark chocolate melted wafers.
• 8. Let it drip for a few seconds. (If the chocolate becomes too cool to continue dipping, just pop the bowl of chocolate in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds and stir. It will be ready for dipping again.)
• 9. Set the strawberries on the parchment paper to set. If you would like to sprinkle on toppings, do it now before the chocolate sets.
• 10. Take a gallon-size resealable bag and place in a glass folding the edges over the outside.
• 11. Take the white candy melts and place them in a bowl. Melt in the microwave for 30-second intervals until smooth. Once melted, pour it into the bag and make a small snip in the corner.
• 12. With a quick back and forth motion, drizzle the strawberries with the white chocolate. At this point, dip the remaining strawberries into the melted white wafers and drizzle them the remaining dark chocolate.
• 13. When they are set, put each strawberry in a cupcake liner. The cupcake liners will help to catch any drips from weeping.
• 14. Store the chocolate covered strawberries in a gift box or resealable container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
