How to make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Hearts with step by step photos & instructions

1. Wash and pat dry the strawberries with paper towels. 

2. Slice the strawberries into half from top. At the top cut a small V-shape. Repeat the same with all the strawberry slices.

3. Now insert a toothpick at the bottom of the strawberries.

4. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate melts for 30 seconds, give a quick stir and heat for 30 minutes more until smooth. Add a teaspoon of oil and mix well.

5. Now dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate and add the toppings of your choice. Set aside for 10 – 15 minutes until the chocolate sets and firms.

Notes

• You can choose to coat the whole strawberry of just half as per your choice.
• Adding a teaspoon of oil gives the chocolate shiny and runny texture.
• If you think the melted chocolate is turning thick, you can reheat it again.
• Smooth out the chocolate drips by tapping the strawberries as soon as you dip them in the melted chocolate.
