Chocolate Covered Strawberries

February 7, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 16 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have a delectably sweet treat that you simply can’t resist!  It screams Valentine’s Day!!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries 033a

I honestly couldn’t think of a more romantic treat than chocolate covered strawberries!!  You would think something so romantic would be difficult or complex, but no, not these treats.  Who can resists a  juicy, sweet strawberry dipped in dark chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate.  I honestly forget how much I love them until I had one.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries


The key to making these fabulously delicious strawberries is making sure your strawberry is dry and you do NOT get any water in the chocolate.  One single drop of water hits the chocolate, it’s all over!  The chocolate will seize up and you have wasted all that wonderful chocolate.   That would be a crime to waste chocolate!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Another thing about chocolate covered strawberries is that once you have dipped your strawberries, refrigerate them for 15 minutes for the chocolate to harden.  Don’t leave them in there too much longer or they will form condensation.  Then your ready for the white chocolate drizzle if you prefer.  Then refrigerate again for 15 minutes.  These are really quick to make too!  I made 20 chocolate dipped strawberries in about 10 minutes.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

For storing the chocolate covered strawberries, you can leave them loosely covered in a cool place in your home and serve within a few hours.  Here are some directions that I got from eHow.

  • Line the inside of a large resealable container with a paper towel.
  • Dust the paper towel with baking soda. It will absorb excess moisture from inside the container and prevent the berries from becoming soggy without actually touching them.
  • Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a plate. Put the plate on top of the paper towel.
  • Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Freeze for longer storage.

Sweet, juicy strawberries dipped in dark chocolate and drizzled in white chocolate.
Serves: 20 Strawberries
Ingredients
  • 21 Large Strawberries (about 1 lbs)
  • 6 oz dark or milk chocolate
  • 2 tbsp. white chocolate (optional)
Instructions
  1. Wash and dry your strawberries thoroughly. Be sure they are completely dried and at room temperature. If any water touches the chocolate, it will seize the chocolate.
  2. Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment or wax paper; set a side.
  3. Create a double boiler if you do not have one; by filling a pot partially with water and placing a glass heat proof bowl over top the pot. I used a pyrex bowl. Just be sure the bowl does not touch the water.
  4. Place dark chocolate in bowl, and stir occasionally until melted. Grab the strawberries by the stem, and dip into the chocolate. Allow excess to chocolate to drip off, then turn the berry upside down for a few seconds to set.
  5. Place berries onto prepared parchment paper. Once all of your strawberries are dipped, place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, until chocolate hardens.
  6. To create a white chocolate drizzle; melt the white chocolate the same way as the dark; once it's melted, carefully scoop the chocolate into a sandwich baggie. Cut a corner of the baggie and drizzle over chocolate strawberries. NOTE: Make sure no water gets into the baggie, otherwise your chocolate will seize up. (I did that when I was scooping the white chocolate!)

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

One more thing I wanted to tell you, is that you should use a good chocolate.  Personally I love Trader Joe’s Chocolate Pounder Bars.  The chocolate melts so nicely.  You could also melt the chocolate in the microwave, but to be honest, I’m not that good at that!  I always over cook my chocolate.  Nothing worse than burnt chocolate!

I hope you enjoyed today’s treat!  It was one that has been on my food bucket list since last Valentine’s Day!  I am happy to share it with you today!

Since I am writing this in advance, I almost forgot today is Little Jenny’s 21st birthday!  I want to wish Jenny a wonderful birthday!  I hope you are having fun and winning big in Vegas!!  You have grown into quite a young woman and I am very proud of you!  Even though you are not my daughter, you are still like one to me!  Happy Birthday!  Love ya!  Jen

To everyone else!  Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
