Notes
TIPS FOR MAKING CHOCOLATE-COVERED STRAWBERRIES
These tips work for chocolate strawberry hearts and chocolate strawberries in general.
Washing the berries: Make sure to give the strawberries and nice rinse and allow them to dry completely before dipping. Water and chocolate don't mix so the berries need to be dry.
Room temperature berries: If the berries are chilled or too cold the chocolate may crack and the berries may sweat once coated in chocolate. Room-temperature berries work best for dipping. The chocolate can set slowly and there isn't a big shift in temperature. Note: because heart strawberries are cut and the insides are exposed when dipped in chocolate, they might drip a small amount of juice regardless. That's normal.
Do not refrigerate coated strawberries: Chocolate strawberries are best eaten the day they are dipped. Again, if they are refrigerated they may sweat or seep juice when they are served so storing them on the counter is fine.
