If you're a fan of sweet treats, you won't want to miss out on this delightful recipe for chocolate covered strawberries. It's a perfect dessert for a romantic night in, or simply to enjoy as a tasty snack. With the addition of sprinkles, chopped nuts, and raspberry and white chocolate drizzle, these chocolate covered strawberries are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts of your choice (e.g. almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts)
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
- 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
To begin, wash and dry your strawberries thoroughly. This will help the chocolate adhere to the strawberries better.
Next, melt the semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it evenly. Then, sprinkle the chopped nuts and rainbow sprinkles on top of the chocolate before it hardens. Place the strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool until the chocolate hardens.
While the chocolate is cooling, prepare the raspberry and white chocolate drizzle. Melt the white chocolate using the same method as the semisweet chocolate. Then, puree the raspberries in a food processor and strain out the seeds. Drizzle the melted white chocolate and raspberry puree on top of the chocolate covered strawberries. Allow the drizzle to set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious chocolate covered strawberries with sprinkles and chopped nuts, and raspberry and white chocolate drizzle!
