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 December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 days until Christmas? I’m not ready yet!! But I did get my Christmas tablescape ready! 
🎄
I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year. 
🎄
I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening.

Do you have a food dish that you like to make during the holidays?

The potpourri has gold and red accents in it. There are large and baby pinecones with white snow on them, and pinecones dipped in gold. This is the perfect potpourri for the season.

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
