Wash your berries in cold water & give them a spray of apple cider vinegar to get rid of any bugs or dirt. Do this the night before and make sure they're dry before putting them back in the fridge. Always keep your berries in the fridge until it's time to dip them. Take them out 30 - 45 minutes before dipping to bring them to room temperature and pat each one to make sure they're dry.
Thank you for the tips I appreciate that 💖
Props and Kudos to you and all the mom's of small children who work and do this with your little ones. You all ROCK!!
I do not see the link for the boxes in the description. Anyone find it?

Thank you for sharing your skills with us .... who else is here on Valentines 💝 trying to learn
Great video! I think the easiest thing Would’ve been to show your subscribers how you melt the chocolate versus telling them hence this is a tutorial and most people look and learn.
this is exactly what i have been looking for all day
Yes. Because prior to this video I went out and purchased chocolate chips and poured them into a coffee cup, placed them into the microwave and they started to burn at almost a minute.
Strawberries look so beautiful. Look at your baby she's helping 😍. So sweet.
Thank you for the tips! The more liquidy it is, the less time it needs in the microwave. But never longer than 25 sec increments. Hoping to make this on Valentine’s Day. (:
Thank you for making this video! I had a couple of questions, but was reading the comments and you already answer them. Thank you !
Almond bark is just the name. It doesn’t contain almonds 😊 my son has a severe peanut allergy and he eats my cake pops which I dip in almond bark.
Thank you for letting me know !!
I had no idea . 😊
Me either
Is it really chocolate ma'am?
chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite but I haven't done it myself. thanks for sharing this video. keep on vlogging. let's stay connected. stay safe. God bless.
Thank you! Making these for my brother and cousins graduation 😬
Strawberries in my place are $12 a pound but it’s all worth, they deserve a treat!
You are THE BEST at explaining tutorials HUGE PROPS to you, thank so much for this, definitely sharing!
Very detailed and simple instructions. Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for this easy recipe. Nothing fancy but you made it look very fancy. You had a little cutie helping you.
Aww thank you so much for your kind words 💖💖
Love the way you teach us! And your little girl so cute by the way!..
They came out beautiful I love how you explained everything. How long in advance do you suggest making them? I’m not sure if it’s the chocolate I used but my strawberries got soggy after a couple of hours
Hello ! Usually I make them the day I need them for a client or when I’m going to eat them :) I never make them days in advance Because the strawberries do get soggy . I don’t think the chocolate has anything to do with it. And I usually try and cover as much of the strawberry that I can :) I hope this helps !! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much ! Stay safe ❤️
Yummers!!! Totally going to make with my kiddies thanks for the video ❤️🥰
i seen someone say gift ? i’m here for myself and i’m learning this for me not anyone else
Las fresas , nescesitaban al menos 2 enjuagues mas la primera saco la tierra de las fresas ,pero aun quedan impurezas x lo cual un solo enjuague es insalubre ..requieren un lavado minucioso .. y para secarlas se deben escurrir en un colador y luego dejarlas extendidas ,hasta que hayan secado completamen lo contrario causaria que al bañarlas bote agua y se dañe completamente ..estos pasos son muy importantes de mencionar oara que el siguiente paso ,que es bañarlas quede optimo.,con unas fresas frescas y fe consistencia perfrcta y saludables ...espero que esta sugerencia sea de utilidad ..x lo demas ..tu trabajo cubriendolas fue muy hermoso las fresas cubiertas de chocolate quedaron perfectas!y muy lindas!🍓🌸
She really just made this so easy and they are perfect 👌🏼❤️🎊
OMG with your lovely content you should have thousands of supporters!
Thanks for the video and tips. I made chocolate covered strawberries for the first time.....Small side note; Almonds are actually a seed, not a nut

Great video 😎😎😍I’m gonna do this
Can you pleaseeeee give me the link or the name of the website where I can find those boxes? 💖
Thank u for the perfect explanation ❤
this is very helpful ☺️
Thank you so much !!
One questio to make it pink do you use pink food coloring to the white. Chocolate ?
This made it so much easier thanks 🥰
When you dip your chocolate its cooled down right ? Am just asking cuz am starting ☺️
How do you store them after dipping? At room temperature?
Hello. Can I make this the day before and store them in the fridge and it would still be good the next day?!
Question why does my strawberry fall of the leaves I’ve tried toothpicks and I’ve also tried Wilton dipping accessories and they end up falling
What piping bags are you using here?
Is it okay if I make it the night before?
The box is not 2 dollars but it’s still cute 🥺, thank you for the tutorial!!!
yes post some more videos ... and did the box have holes so the strawberries could breathe? lol
Did you add oil to the chocolate? Love these 💕
you sound like esthalla from familia diamond!?. lol me out here bored in quarantine watching my fav snack. and commenting while watching.
Where is the link to buy the package? Thank you 🙂
Did you ever find the link?
Did you find the link yet? (:
Do you but them in the Fridge? In the middle of dipping or till the end?
Debhy typically don’t put them in the fridge if they’re for a client I make them fresh just a couple of hours before they are needed .
Hi did u melt your choclate
Can you please tell me where you get the gift box? thank you.
🌬Great tutorial ❤️
Can I use white chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips to do this?
For the candy melts did you do the whole bag ? And how many second and should it be thick or loose
Hello I usually fill up my container that I’m using and it’s about 1 cup of chocolate .
I microwave my chocolate 20 seconds at a time until it’s melted i mix it every time I take it out of the microwave to make sure that it’s evenly melted.
The merckens chocolate is very runny so it’s never thick when melted.
Hello, great video. But for some reason when I dip mine and pull them out the chocolate starts to harden and it get like these breaks and has patches. I really can’t explain it lol. But do you let the chocolate cool for a second before you dip cuz mine don’t even be shiny when it’s wet.
Vantoria McCullough yes! So usually when that happens that means
Either the humidity in your area
Or the chocolate is too hot
Usually when I dip my strawberries I completely pat dry them and let them sit out until they’re fully dried .
I melt my chocolate and let it sit for at least 5-8 min before dipping!
Of course this all depends on the temperature in your house !
Chocolate can be so hard to work with 😐
do you ever use a little bit of oil before melting the chocolate? My chocolate comes out too thick and heating it longer only makes it very clumpy. I need help 😭
heyyy!
so I never have to use oil because of the chocolate brand I use.
in order to get good results with the chocolate you would have to use a brand like "merckens" usually they have it at your local cake supply store or even on etsy!
Im going to be making a video on how to properly melt chocolate soon!
since its a challenge for a lot of people
and if your chocolate is thick that usually means that you heated it for too long.
start off by melting your chocolate for 20 seconds at a time
I usually do that twice , mix it and reheat for 15 seconds
until its melted
remember to stir each time you take it out
after I see that its almost fully melted I let it sit on the counter for 3 minutes and stir it if I see that its not melted all the way ill pop it back in for 10 seconds
lol sorry for the paragraph!
melting chocolate is always a struggle but you just have to go little by little and you'll get the results you want :)
how do you store the leftover chocolate that you have? Do you let it harden at room temp and then store in a cupboard or fridge?
Hello yes of course so I store it in the container that I melt it in I usually store it in my cupboard as long as your house stays cool your chocolate will be fine :)
Do you save the extra chocolate left overs? If so how do you store it?
Yes I do !
I melt it down and pour it over a sheet of parchment paper , let it dry completely and break it up and store it in a ziplock bag :)
thank you so much the first time i made them i used nutella and put it in the micorwave if u do use Nutella how many seconds do u put it in the microwave and my starwberries dont cover properly i dont know why it just comes of.
If i make this om friday. Will it last untill sunday?
try making them a day before if you can
@@Brenda951159 oh:/
Hi Lauren. Great tutorial. I have a question. Your strawberries look rock solid while you decorate them. How do you do it? My strawberries doesn't get hard until I get them out of the freezer. And then it gets covered with water droplets when I take it out. How do I get rid of that. Please help.
Hi!
You want to make sure you are using a “coating chocolate “ for chocolate covered strawberries you shouldn’t have to put them in the freezer because it causes condensation and sweats
The brand I use is Merkens chocolate or almond bark
@@laurengomez9709 thanks love. I always used nutela or hazelnut while coating. I should not use it?
hi do you put the chocolate covered strawberries in the fridge or not?
Hello! No I do not I usually dip hours before I’m going to use them :)
U can put them in the fridge but they do sweat from the condensation
@@laurengomez9709 thank you so much the first time i made them i used nutella and put it in the micorwave if u do use Nutella how many seconds do u put it in the microwave and my starwberries dont cover properly i dont know why it just comes of.
and your baby is so cute your channel really helps me you sprea dlots of possotivity have a good day bye
We’re do you get box from or strawberries holder
Do you use food coloring to change the colors of the chocolate ?
Angie J yes I do but I use an oil based food coloring . It doesn’t contain water so it doesn’t mess up the chocolate .
Hard working mama 😍
Like it good idea. Where can I buy the chocolate?
Love your video 🙂
Hey do you always get sweating and or condensation on the strawberries cause I tried every method and I still get sweating . Any tips on how to stop this from happening
vickie sanchez do you put them in the fridge ?
Do the candy melts need vegetable oil??
No they do not , when you use a good quality it shouldn’t need oil just make sure not to overheat your chocolate .
Almond bark and merckens chocolate are the brands I recommend
I don't have a microwave can I still do this
Hello, where did you get the holder for your strawberries?
Hello it is from
Itwasalladreamshop.com
Where did you buy the plastic long container for strawberries
How do you harden the chocolate covered strawberries
Hey can you tag the link to the piping bags I’m kind of confused about purchasing gr8 video !
Try small ziploc bagss works just as good for me
You can definitely use ziplock bags just cut a tiny hole on one end !
Or look up tipless piping bags on amazon
www.thecookiecountess.com/products/tipless-piping-bags
Can i use chocolate chips to make the chocolate surronding?
Brezzy I’ve never tried chocolate chips to be honest , but when dipping strawberries the best chocolate to use is a “coating chocolate”
You stated you get that Plastic Holder for the Strawberries Where Cake Walk Where on Line please Provide that Info. I'm in love with that Plastic Holder for the Strawberries My Daughter Bday is In Nov I need that Asap. Thanks For this Easy to do Video I'm in it... Just need that Strawberry Holder... Stay Blessed Have A Safe Week.
What do you do with the extra chocolate?
Those bowls!!!! Beautiful.... where did you get them from? (Bowls at 1:42)
She said the dollar store.
Patty saenz talking about the ceramic flower ones. I understand the plastic melting bowls are from there. But if the ceramic flower bowls are from somewhere else, I’d love to know!
Ls Btn pretty sure she is talking about them and not the chocolate hope she answers you to re assure :)
Ls Btn they are from sams club ;)
hey where can i get the pink chocolate from ?
Info for the container in which you placed your strawberries in after they where done
Are you able to use a ziplock baggie for the strawberries
Yes of course !
I used to use a ziploc bag :)
It works just as fine just cut a small hole
How did you get it pink
Wow
Omg what’s the song in the beginning
You’re daughter is beautiful ❤️
Aww thank you so much !!
Hi can you tell me why the chocolate sometimes turn ashy
Hello ! Usually that means that your chocolate is too hot!
So you always want to make sure that you melt the chocolate at 25 second intervals and decrease the amount of time as it starts to melt.
So usually I do 25 seconds , mix it
25 seconds mix it and let it rest for one minute mix again
If it needs more time I usually do 10 seconds until it’s melted
If your container is super hot your chocolate continues to melt so that’s why you don’t want to continue to add more time if it isn’t needed . Always let your chocolate rest after it’s fully melted . Don’t just start dipping right after you take it out of the microwave!
Sorry for the super long response lol
@@laurengomez9709 okay thank you so much, that makes sense. No it’s completely fine thank you for the fast reply.
Hi,IAM watching from the Philippines.
Omg what is that song in your intro?!!
Sometimes it seems like my darker chocolate takes more than an hour in the fridge to harden. Should I try the freezer for 5 minutes first or Any other suggestions?
Shanita Wright so it definitely shouldn’t take that long at all.
Try using a “coating chocolate “
So that it hardens within minutes .
After dipping you don’t need to refrigerate or freeze your berries if you use a coating chocolate .
I hear “little Baby Bum” 🤗
Can you link the little box? I can’t find them anywhere
Can you put the link for the plastic containers
How long do you allow the strawberries to dry?
Hello,
Typically I make all the strawberries I need , decorate them and wait about 20 min for them to be fully dried and ready for packaging :)
Was the dark chocolate melted in the microwave?
Yes it is
I loved the vid!! 🥰& you’re so pretty 🥺💕
Aww thank you so much !! ❤️❤️
How long do they take to dry after you cover them ?
It should be about 30 seconds to a minute
So u don't add oil to the chocolate?
gucci Reaves no I do not :)
If you use Merkens chocolate you do not need oil !
@@laurengomez9709 omg u replied back quick thanks I'm in the store now 💞
No puedo creer que solo enjuagaste las fresas, no las desinfecta aún cuando traían mucha tierra 😰😰
@laura gomez What’s the link for the containers?
How much you can selling this strawberries
Asking for my mom. Hers keep sweating and condensation keeps forming
Yes I do , if you’re making them it’s best to make them fresh and the day of .
I usually only keep them in the fridge for a day . They are best eaten fresh :)
Is the merckens chocolate really sweet?
I use Merkens for my berries. Definitely one of my favorites. Not overly sweet and doesn’t have a bitter taste 😉
No it isn’t very sweet , you can also use dark chocolate if you don’t like the milk chocolate . Dark chocolate has more of a bitter taste but it’s still very delicious 😋
