Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Hearts

Ingredients

• Fresh strawberries (Stems removed and strawberries cut in half)
• Semisweet chocolate (Melted for dipping and, according to the directions, for the drizzle bottle)
• White chocolate (Melted for drizzling)
• Toothpicks (Used to secure the strawberry halves into heart shapes; technically an equipment item rather than an ingredient)

Steps

1. 1

   Remove the stems from the strawberries, then cut the strawberries in half.

2. 2

   Place two strawberry halves together with their pointy bottoms touching. Secure the halves with a toothpick to create a heart shape.

3. 3

   Dip the strawberry hearts into the melted semisweet chocolate, trying to cover the whole strawberry.

4. 4

   Chill the dipped strawberry hearts in the refrigerator for 30–40 minutes.

5. 5

   After the chocolate has dried, trim away any excess melted chocolate if needed.

6. 6

   Add the melted chocolate to a chocolate drizzle bottle, then squeeze some of the melted white chocolate over the strawberry hearts.

7. 7

   Refrigerate the strawberry hearts until ready to serve.

Notes

The source does not provide quantities or specify how the chocolates should be melted. The drizzle instruction is ambiguous about whether the chocolate added to the drizzle bottle is semisweet or white chocolate; it is preserved as written.
