This week I tried out my first recipe; chocolate covered strawberries. This turned out better than I thought! To start I had to go to the grocery store! I bought local strawberries and chocolate chips. I washed and dried my strawberries because otherwise the chocolate wouldn’t stick. Then I melted the chocolate in the microwave at 15 second increments until it was fully melted. After that I added a couple chocolate chips to it to temper the chocolate. This process makes the chocolate shiny and more appealing. Then I coated my strawberries and placed them on a plate with parchment and into the fridge for a couple of hours until they fully hardened.
Fresh Local Strawberries
Rating 10/10 – these were so delicious and tasted so fresh with the local strawberries (they were also smaller strawberries which I found made them easier to eat)
Difficulty 8/10 – this recipe was not too difficult, and I think anyone could make these!
One improvement I would make next time is using a toothpick or something to stick in the strawberries to help me dip them. I found the stems/ leaves would break off and make it difficult. As well I learned you should eat them the day of because I had a couple the day after, and the strawberries can get a little soggy.
