Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries Mixture
- 16 oz fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Chocolate Coating
- 16 oz chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Place fresh ripe strawberries in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Use a fork to mash the strawberries gently until a chunky puree forms.
- Form Strawberry Bites: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the mashed strawberry mixture into 6 separate piles on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate that fits into your freezer. This will create individual berry clusters.
- Freeze Strawberry Clusters: Place the baking sheet or plate in the freezer and allow the strawberry piles to freeze solid for 3 to 4 hours. This ensures they hold their shape when dipped.
- Melt Chocolate Coating: Follow the package instructions to melt the 16 oz of chocolate candy coating. Typically, this involves heating it gently in a microwave or double boiler until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip in Chocolate: Remove the frozen strawberry clusters from the freezer one by one and dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork or dipping tool to lift them out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Set Chocolate Coating: Place the chocolate-covered strawberry bites back onto the parchment paper. Return them to the freezer and chill until the chocolate coating has fully hardened, which should take about 15 to 30 minutes.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Chocolate candy coating can be substituted with high-quality chocolate chips or bars that melt smoothly.
- For a decorative touch, drizzle white chocolate over the hardened bites.
- Store these treats in the freezer and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
- If you prefer a sweeter bite, increase sugar slightly when mashing strawberries.
