Chocolate Covered Strawberries - For a Romantic Evening!

By Patricia Gorginas

Chocolate covered strawberries are delicious when you want to give something different to your partner. It would certainly be a delicious surprise.

Women who are avid fans of daytime dramas will tell you that one thing spells romance. That’s champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. When a couple is sharing this specialty it speaks of their adoration for one another.

It doesn’t need to be a part of a fantasy though; you can make this delightful treat at home to share with your partner.

The candy bar from the corner store is not going to work in this instance. The best chocolate strawberries are dipped in French or German chocolate. You don’t need to purchase a large amount. A bag of high grade chocolate chips will do just fine.

It might seem that it’s a complicated task. It’s not at all and in fact if you have the right ingredients you are almost always guaranteed success. In order to make perfect chocolate covered strawberries you need to use very good quality chocolate.

One noticeable thing about these decadent treats is that the chocolate seems to have a shine to it. The sheen of chocolate covered strawberries stems from the fact that a substance is added to the melted chocolate to help it harden.

Paraffin wax

Paraffin wax works very well for this and it’s readily available in many grocery stores. The strawberries are the main ingredient and there’s a few tips that will help you pick ones that are perfect for this dessert.

Chocolate covered strawberries are most pleasing to the eye when the stem is still attached to the fruit. It can be a bit of a challenge to find these since most grocery stores don’t sell them this way.

Also don’t choose fruit that is overripe. This will make the process a bit more difficult and also may result in a mushy finished product. Chocolate strawberries should be firm and chilled when served.

Ready made

Not everyone is comfortable or has the time to prepare this. If you have an anniversary approaching or perhaps you are about to pop the question, you can always purchase them already made. Many specialty food shops carry chocolate covered strawberries as well as other fruits dipped in chocolate.

If there isn’t a shop in your area that caters to these romantic tidbits, you can always find a company online who will deliver. Some will send you chocolate strawberries the very next day after ordering.

You can buy as many or as few as you need and then sit back and wait for them to arrive, For a special occasion these make a wonderful ending to a romantic feast.
