Strawberry dipped in Chocolate is one of the easiest thing to make, yet one of the most elegant sweet treats thanks to Godiva! Instead of buying 3 dollar for A strawberry dipped in chocolate, why don't you just spend no more than 10 dollars and make a batch of 15-20 strawberries! They are so simple and upgrade any dessert!
What you need
5 Baker's bittersweet Chocolate (or more depends on how many strawberries or how big one strawberry is)
15 strawberries
1 Baker's white chocolate (for decoration drizzle)
Food coloring (optional)
parchment paper/wax paper
parchment paper/wax paper
How do you do it?
1. Thoroughly wash the strawberries, leave the leaves on the strawberries as you will need to hold on to them to dip the strawberries into chocolate.
2. Thoroughly dry the strawberries (I used paper towels to triple dry the strawberries. *Make sure your strawberries are dry before you dip them, or else you will end up with those pretty chocolate dipped strawberries, but all the chocolates fall off after first bite!*)

3. Use a double boiler and melt the bittersweet chocolate. *I highly recommend using baker's chocolate since it is made to be used for baking or cooking. This will lower the chance of the dipped strawberries sweat when stored*.
4. Dip the strawberries into well melted chocolate, and let it sit on the prepared parchment paper. After all strawberries are dipped, put them in the fridge to set for about 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, microwave to melt 1 oz (1square) of Bakers white chocolate. Fill it in any small plastic bag. I used a ziploc sandwich bag.
6. Take out the set strawberries, and cut a tiny whole on one end of the sandwich bag. Start piping some patterns on the dipped strawberries.
7. Optional: I saved half of the white chocolate and added a drop of red coloring to make the white chocolate pink and pipped half of the strawberries with pink stripes and half with white stripes!
** A side note, you mostly won't be able to finish piping all the white (pink) chocolate, so this is a good chance to pipe different pattern on the parchment paper and save it future decoration. Great to put on ice cream or cakes!!
