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

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
