Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Choose strawberries with stems — easier to dip and prettier display.
- Dry strawberries completely — chocolate won’t stick to wet berries.
- Temper chocolate or add 1 tsp coconut oil — shiny finish.
- Dip at room temp — cold berries make chocolate set too fast.
- Drizzle with a fork or piping bag — pro-looking design.
- Chill on parchment — easy release.
- Add toppings while wet — sprinkles, nuts, gold leaf.
