Chocolate Dipped Strawberries


It’s Valentine’s Day!  Is there any more perfect day for Chocolate Dipped Strawberries?

And since Valentine’s falls on a Sunday, Romantic Valentines treats are also the theme for this week’s Sunday Funday!


Here’s what everyone else whipped up:


  • Beet-Kissed Savory Goat Cheese Truffles by Culinary Adventures with Camilla
  • Chocolate Chip Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies by Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice
  • Chocolate Dipped Strawberries by Amy's Cooking Adventures
  • Grilled Grapes & Paneer Sticks by Sneha's Recipe
  • Salmon with Peach Salsa by Making Miracles
  • Strawberry Almond Crumble by Food Lust People Love
  • Watermelon Mousse by Mayuri’s Jikoni
  • Wild Rice Stuffed Pork Tenderloin by A Day in the Life on the Farm


  • Chocolate dipped strawberries don’t seem overly complicated, and they’re really not, but it’s all about finding the right chocolate.  Unless you’re an expert at tempering chocolate (which I am not), your best bet is chocolate candy melts (or melting wafers or chocolate candy bark).  All of these melt smoothly and dry nicely.


    Next it’s a simple matter of decorating!  I used gold sprinkles and hearts for Valentine’s.


    Or, if you really want to go all out, dip the strawberries in white chocolate first, let it dry and then dip in chocolate to make a tuxedo pattern.  Finally add heart “buttons”.  So cute!

    Wash the strawberries and dry completely.


    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.


    Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave.  Stir until smooth.  Dip the strawberries and immediately add sprinkles.  Place on the prepared tray to harden.


    Refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
