Valentine's Day Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Valentine’s Day Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Love is in the air and Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! I absolutely love decorating for Valentine’s Day as red, pink and white go really well together and give the house a certain feminine touch. It also might be because I just took all my Christmas decorations down a month ago and my house looked incredibly bare for some time now. Who knows?! Valentine’s Day is such a love/hate holiday for some people but I enjoy it each and every year. I plan on showcasing some goodies, crafts, and slime for you all this week to give you some inspiration as the holiday approaches!

These chocolate covered strawberries are delish and super simple to make. You can be as creative as you want and add all types of colors, sprinkles, and even chocolate chips to create a fantastic platter of love filled goodness! In this recipe, I used white and dark chocolate to coat the berries, but you can use all different types – Wilton supplies just about every single color you can think of! I also use these candy melts to dip my cake pops in when I make those for specific events/parties! I can guarantee if you make these for Valentine’s Day for your someone special they will love them – who doesn’t enjoy a handmade gift anyways? Let’s get started!

Supplies:

Strawberries – 1lb

Chocolate Wafters – used chocolate and vanilla

Ghirardelli Candy Making and Dipping, Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers, 10 Ounce Bag (Pack of 2)

Ghirardelli Chocolate White Candy Making Wafers, 10 Ounce

Sprinkles – any kind

Optional: Wilton Chocolate Maker – Wilton Candy Melts Candy Melting Pot

Directions:

Wash and dry strawberries while you are heating up the wafers in your Wilton chocolate pro, microwave, or stove.

Once the chocolate is melted, you will make sure to dip the strawberries in a deep enough dish, so the chocolate covers the berry completely. Hold the fruit by the stem.

Set the dipped strawberries on wax paper.

Before the chocolate hardens, add sprinkles if desired. If you are wanting to drizzle chocolate on top make sure the chocolate is all the way hardened before doing so.

Let the strawberries dry completely before moving them to an airtight container. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve – use within 3 days.
