Chocolate Covered Strawberries - Step By Step Instructions

Create Chocolate Covered Strawberries For An Upscale Event

If you love chocolate, you will love our adorable chocolate covered strawberries!

Create a refined touch to your baby shower by using our tuxedo strawberry and evening dress strawberry instructions.

Tuxedo strawberries have been used for years and weddings and bridal showers, but I felt it was time to match it up of an equally elegant chocolate dipped strawberry, the "evening gown dress".

These instructions will show you how to make a evening gown dress strawberry. Instructions to our tuxedo strawberries are located here.

To make your chocolate covered strawberries, you will need:

Wax paper

Toothpicks

Strawberries

White Chocolate Almond Bark (or white and pink candy melts)

red or pink food coloring-use with the bark

Paper towels

Shortening(optional)

Start by washing off your strawberries. Leave the stem on and place your clean strawberries on paper towels and blot dry.

Heat your white chocolate in the microwave, following the instructions on the back of the package. Use a bowl that is deep enough that you are able to dip the strawberry into the chocolate easily.

***Tip*** Your chocolate will need to be smooth. Stir until there are no more lumps in it. If you would like to thin the frosting for the dipping process, add a little shortening and stir. Make sure to only use shortening, no substitutes.

Lay out a sheet of wax paper on a flat surface. Hold onto the stem of your strawberry with the point of the strawberry facing down. Dip your strawberry into the white chocolate and coat evenly.

Hold over the bowl for a few seconds to let the excess chocolate drain. Place on the wax paper to let dry. Once you have finished covering your chocolate covered strawberries, set it sit for about 10 minutes to fully dry.

Use your red food coloring to tint your remaining white chocolate pink. Add more almond bark and reheat if necessary. Once the consistancy is what you desire you are ready to create the evening dress on your strawberry.

How To Make Your Chocolate Strawberry Evening Gown:

Hold the strawberry at the stem and angle the strawberry so that when you dip it in the chocolate, it will cover the side. Angle it to the opposite side and dip again. The two dipped sides will cause a "v" similar to the top of an evening gown. Lay on the wax paper to dry.

Make A Matching Necklace:

Dip a toothpick into the pink chocolate. Dot a necklace at the top of the strawberry to finish off the look.

Additonal Tips:

You can fix any blemishes by either redipping or using a toothpick dipped in chocolate to fill it in.

If your chocolate covering starts to melt while you are dipping your strawberries, your chocolate is too hot. Let it cool down a little before trying it again.

Use different food coloring shades to match the tux or dress to your decorations.
