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.

Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Ingredients

To make these eye-popping chocolate covered strawberries, grab the following ingredients:

• baking chocolate chips
• baking peanut butter chips
• coconut oil
• fresh strawberries
• shredded coconut
• crushed almonds

How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries

In a saucepan over low to medium heat, melt baking chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, whisking until smooth.

In a small bowl, combine baking peanut butter chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. For variety, dip 1/3 of the strawberries into shredded coconut, another 1/3 into chopped almonds, and leave the remaining 1/3 plain. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle the melted peanut butter mixture over the plain chocolate-coated strawberries.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the strawberries are fully chilled. Enjoy!
