Working with one strawberry at a time, hold strawberry by the stem, dip in the chocolate, let excess drip off, and gently scrape the bottom against the rim of the bowl to remove excess chocolate then place on parchment paper OR immediately dip and roll in desired coating then transfer to parchment paper. Let chocolate set at room temperature unless serving immediately then refrigerate ⏱️ 20-30 minutes or until set then remove from refrigerator to store.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries are best served fresh, the same day they are made and stored in a cool place - not in the refrigerator.
7
If stored longer than a day, the berries gradually release moisture so they will gradually get mushy.
8
If weather conditions don’t allow strawberries to be stored outside the refrigerator then line a sealable container with paper towels (to wick away moisture), place strawberries in a single layer and cover. Be aware that condensation will occur and the chocolate can get white and chalky.
9
You can serve the refrigerated chocolate strawberries chilled or let sit at room temperature for ⏱️ 30 minutes. Chilled strawberries will have a nice crunch to the chocolate, whereas room temperature strawberries will have slightly softer chocolate.
