Tips & Tricks (5)

Strawberry Selection 🍓
Choose firm, ripe strawberries with bright red color and no white or green patches to ensure the best texture and flavor for dipping.
Chocolate Melting Magic 🍫
Use a double boiler or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each burst to prevent chocolate from burning and achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.
Dry Berries Perfectly 💧
Pat strawberries completely dry with paper towels before dipping to prevent water from causing the chocolate to seize or become grainy.
Coconut Oil Trick 🥥
Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to melted chocolate to create a silky, snap-able chocolate shell that hardens quickly and beautifully.
Drizzle & Decorate ✨
Use a fork or small spoon to create elegant drizzle patterns with contrasting white or dark chocolate for a professional-looking finish.
