@@karenbarcenas3954 thank you. I found Ghirardelli melting wafers and thought I would have it way easier with those but I found that the semi sweet morsels tasted way better even though it is thicker and harder to work with. I wound up with white chocolate and milk chocolate Ghirardelli wafer strawberries and the semi sweet morsel strawberries and everyone loved them. It took so long to make. I see why people pay others to make them.
Almond bark is actually one of the most recommended chocolates for dipping any type of treat! It’s smooth, tastes good, and melts down nicely/can reheat and reuse. It’s all I’ve ever used for my business and people have said that mine are the best that they’ve ever had. I guess everyone’s different, but I’ve never had complaints.
I temper with a scraper on a marble surface and it's so easy. No worrying about temperatures or melting and seeding. I just drop half the chocolate on the marble, scrap it back and forth for a few minutes and I can feel the minute it is in temper by the change in texture. I just started tempering last year. I've only done it a few dozen times but I have never had a fail. I use Callebaut
I am so glad you confirmed my thinking of storing the strawberries overnight. I made a batch, did not fridge overnight and took left overs to work the next day. Everyone loved them and wanted me to make them for their special someone for Valentines Day. I turned them down because of storage and freshness issues. Love your kitchen.
Just here to say that I followed your instructions and they turned out PERFECT!!! The thermometer gun really made a difference. Last time I think the chocolate was too hot and the strawberries were cold so they did not cover or pick up the chocolate well at all. Thanks for the vid ❤️😋
I use coconut oil and that takes these babies to a different level also I let them dry standing up, thank you so much for sharing how to temper chocolate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
From my experience, coconut oil can be hit it or miss. Sometimes it helped with the melting and sometimes it made it hard...plus it tends to leave a taste on the berries. What has helped in the past for me is using a small drop of veggie oil.
@@plontkegurl9529 The oils just help the chocolate melt thinner and be smooth so that you can easily dip it. But honestly using a good high quality chocolate limits having to add anything. Even though it can be a little more expensive but its worth it.
This is all fancy fancy. I buy some Ghirardelli bars, break them up by their squares, pop it in the microwave until its melted, and dip my patted dry strawberries in them and they always come out perfect lol
Thank you for this. California does manage to grow some pretty awesome strawberries but unfortunately what everybody doesn't know is the majority of those grade AA strawberries go to Disneyland for their chocolate covered strawberries! Maybe now that Disneyland really isn't open and the strawberry season is about to be upon us we might just get some real gems! Perfect for dipping perfect for chocolate!
I just made ghost candy apples with Ghirardelli white vanilla-flavored melting wafers. I use the microwave. Your 15-second rule was great advice. They came out great.
Ahhhh I'm on my friends computer but like I needed this so bad Mother's Day is coming and this is perfect along with all the festivies I have planned for her thank you miss!
This is really the best tutorial for chocolate covered strawberries!!! Thank You!!! I was thinking about experimenting with chocolates to find the best one to use but you did all the work. Thank you!
This is the best well explained video of how to make chocolate covered strawberries the right way, and I’ve watched a lot of videos, her energy is literally the best, thank god for this video
I’ve learned a lot with your vlogs makes me feel like I’m a pro chef though in reality, I’m not 😂✌️ but thanks to you coz you really helped me a lot & my kids enjoyed all the cakes & creativity that I made for them because of your awesome knowledge and ideas. God bless!
I bought some Belgien white, milk and dark chocolate but I couldn’t get my hands on a strawberry ! The joys of living on an Island . I did make your pink velvet cake, delicious! I used a white chocolate Italian meringue buttercream, really yummy ! I ended up making some last minute truffles and tempered my chocolate perfectly . Thank you for the microwave version of tempering . It all worked out in the end . My heart cake with cover that looked like a heart shaped box of chocolates was a hit!
Watching this full of science took all the fun and enthusiasm out of me that I had to do these smh . I did pick up some great pointers but I mean dang you were like the substitute in the summer on a Friday.. all work no play
New sub😁 I just adore your bubbly personality & your set up is so stinking cute. I look forward to making the 🍓 with my kids this weekend 💕. With your tips I feel confident 😍.
I used the Trader Joe's giant 1lb slab Belgian chocolate bars ($5 at mine) to make hot cocoa bombs and they worked beautifully! The temperature range for tempering the semi-sweet and dark also seemed to be pretty forgiving. I have some left so I'll try it for dipping strawberries. :)
Great video but one thing I am not sure if it was mentioned but once you temper the melted chocolate it needs to be used right away. You can't "set it aside". It will set pretty quickly in the bowl
My mom would be like temperature ur chocolate que? Her measurements with me growing up where a pinch of this a pinch of that lol I learn something new everyday.
I was just so envious of the look on your face when you bit into a strawberry I wanted to reach through the screen and grab a handful or two handfuls they look so good thank you for making it look so easy and I love the science behind everything you do thank you for sharing and as always keep on caking or should I say strawberry LOL
Your strawberries came out GORGEOUS!! I was washing my produce, looked at the washed strawberries and thought "chocolate covered strawberries"🤔, looked it up on RUclips and your video is the first that popped up lol!! Thank you for sharing and I do have Lindy's Cherry Tango dark chocolate, I always have several varieties of Lindt's dark chocolate bars on hand🥰, I mean next to diamonds, chocolate are a girl's best friend lol!! I so cannot wait to make these!!🍫🍓🍓🍓❤️🥰
OMG!! This was the BEST Video!! I'm making Chocolate Covered Strawberries... Bananas and Pineapples for My Daughter for Her Birthday... And I Definitely Needed To See This!!😁😁😁 I Hope The Come Out As Beautiful as Yours!!😊 But This is My First Time🤷🏽🥰🥰🥰
Hello 👋 the chocolate 🍫 you mentioned not to use....is the exact chocolates I use for my chocolate covered strawberries and they work great! Although I haven't tried melting the Hershey bar 🤐! If you don't mind me asking can you tell me your experience with the chocolates you said not to use? Thank you in advance 🤗
I washed the strawberries and dried them. They sat out on paper towels all day and are now looking too dry. I also had many that weren't ripe. What do you recommend? BTW, I've watched about 3 videos about this so far and yours had the most information. Thank you.
Thank you for your videos, they’re so instructive and comprehensive. I loved your tempering chocolate video and this strawberry video. Would love to see you make some candy honeycomb and dipped in chocolate.
Here's a tip! If you don't want to use all of that white color, just add a drop of purple to tone it because purple cancels yellow that's why they use purple shampoo on hair to make it less yellow in color!
I wash the strawberries the evening, where do I leave the strawberries to dry? Back in the refrigerator? On the counter? So I may start dipping, first thing, in the morning.
confused about this too. what did you end up doing? im letting them air dry for an hour rn and then i think i’ll put them in the fridge overnight and dip tmm
@@zashiworld i rises them, dried by hand, allowed to sit, on the counter for a good hour. Dipped in the chocolate. Placed on parchment paper to dry. I noticed the leaking from the strawberries.
For anyone wanting to colour the chocolate with gel food colouring, here's an alternative : Add a little bit of oil in your melted chocolate and then add your gel food color. This trick is shown in many videos from Rosie's dessert spot. In the linked video below, she explains it at 1'55 and also in the description box. Hope it's useful for someone :p ruclips.net/video/ZXoYlGXdgwc/видео.html
@@SugarGeekShow yes you're right ! A lot of bakers on RUclips do not specify if their chocolate is tempered or not, if it's even real chocolate or compound chocolate... It's misleading but I researched it and yes you're absolutely right ! The method used by the other baker is for compound chocolate or non tempered chocolate.
@@zaza7594 but if it's non-tempered isn't it soft and doesn't make for a nice dipped strawberry? That's why I'm here.. my dipped strawberries were always moist and the chocolate was soft.
@@sylvia5623 to be honest I don't know what a dipped strawberry should taste like ^^ we don't really have that where I'm from, I mean it's not that popular as far as I know. But after a bit of research I found many many videos of chocolate anything (strawberry, chocolate bar, name it) when the chocolate was NOT tempered. So my guess is part of the people don't care if it goes soft because they refrigerate it enough and part of the people use compound chocolate but they just call it chocolate which just confused me a lot. Now I know better ;)
@@zaza7594 oh, even if it isn't made like the professionals make it, it all tastes the same. All this effort is just about the presentation. I would recommend just melting some chocolate and dipping it to eat some. It's really good!
Candy melts usually have shortening or vegetable oil in them, so that’s good to use for thinning and melting if you’re using imitation chocolate. But with real chocolate, you’ll want to add cocoa butter instead.
So once you wash them the night before, you said stick them in the fridge. Next day take them out the fridge and let them sit for a bit and then dip? Because the strawberries will be cold if you don’t let them sit correct?
I never used a thermometer. This is new to me... Wow! I'll pass. Those who may be reading this: she mentioned to warm it up every 15 seconds...that's actually great advice and you won't ever burn your chocolate that way! 😉
Everyone talking about how they’re ready to make this for their S.O on Valentines Day, but I’m ready to make these for myself on any other day
I bought Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips in white chocolate and milk chocolate. Do I need to add oil and if so what type?

What is difference between doing strawberries with the melting method vs the tempering method?
"If you're doing this for people please wear gloves" first person I've heard ever say that and I gotta say, THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!
With almond bark all you have to do is warm it for 30 secs the stir it then put it back in for 30 secs and it’s perfect
Amazing lesson!
Ty so much very good video ❤
I learned my lesson melting the Cocoa Barry and Callebaut chips... I take the extra step and chop it. It makes dipping much easier
Great tutorial! I learned a lil something, something.
When you dip your strawberries when is a good time to drizzle ? Do you let the chocolate dry up before you drizzle any chocolate on top ?

Add a little bit of oil in your melted chocolate and then add your gel food color.
