How to Keep Chocolate Covered Strawberries From Sweating
To keep chocolate-covered strawberries from sweating, follow these tips:
Start with Dry Strawberries: Wash the strawberries in advance, and ensure they are completely dry before dipping. Moisture causes the chocolate to seize and leads to sweating later.
Use Quality Chocolate: Opt for good-quality chocolate and temper it properly to create a stable coating.
Cool at Room Temperature First: After dipping, let the strawberries set at room temperature before refrigerating them.
Avoid Humidity: Store the strawberries in a low-humidity environment to minimize condensation.
Refrigerate in a Single Layer: Place the strawberries in an airtight container lined with parchment paper, in a single layer, to prevent sticking and sweating.

Add a Paper Towel: Include a paper towel in the container to absorb excess moisture.

Serve Quickly: Remove the strawberries from the refrigerator just before serving to limit condensation from the temperature change.
These steps help maintain their glossy appearance and prevent them from sweating.
