This recipe features our Michigan strawberries from Walker Farms available every spring.
Ingredients
- 2 pints strawberries, stem on
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 4 ounces bar white chocolate
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and dry strawberries.
- Chop both chocolates and place in separate microwave safe bowls.
- Microwave bittersweet chocolate 2 to 3 minutes, stopping each minute to stir until chocolate is smooth.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Holding strawberries by the stem, dip into melted chocolate as far to the top as possible, let excess chocolate drip off, and place on baking sheet.
- Refrigerate strawberries for 30 minutes until chocolate has hardened.
- Microwave white chocolate 1 to 3 minutes, stopping each minute to stir until chocolate is smooth. If the white chocolate is too thick, add vegetable oil a little at a time until the proper consistency is reached.
- Remove hardened chocolate covered strawberries from refrigerator.
- Using a fork, dip the fork into the white chocolate, drizzle the chocolate covered strawberries with the white chocolate in a back-and-forth motion. You can also cut the tip of a plastic bag to drizzle the white chocolate.
- Place strawberries back into the refrigerator until chocolates have set, about 15 minutes.
- Best served same day but you can refrigerate for up to 2 days.
