But, before we get into the step-by-step process of making chocolate strawberries using Perelandra Chocolate Bars, let’s understand where the chocolate comes from. Starting with the cocoa fruit! Take a look at our chocolate making process to better understand how we make our chocolate.

Steps To Making Chocolate Strawberries

Now that we know the origins of human chocolate, let’s learn how you can make chocolate-covered strawberries at home using Perelandra Chocolate Bars. These high-quality chocolate bars are known for their smooth texture, balanced sweetness and deep cocoa flavor, making them the perfect choice for a simple yet luxurious treat.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 bar of Perelandra Chocolate (dark, milk, or white chocolate, depending on preference)
1 pint of fresh strawberries (preferably organic for the best flavor)
1 teaspoon of coconut oil or butter (optional, for a smoother melt)
Toppings (optional): Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles, or sea salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Wash and Dry the Strawberries

Rinse the strawberries thoroughly with cold water and pat dry completely with a paper towel.
Remember, if there is even a little moisture left on the strawberries, the chocolate will not stick to them properly. So ensure that it is completely dry.

2. Melt the Perelandra Chocolate Bar

Break the chocolate into small pieces and put them in a heatproof bowl.
To melt the chocolate, use the double boiler method, set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and let it melt slowly. Or, use the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session, until the chocolate is completely melted.
If necessary, add 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter so that the texture of the chocolate becomes smooth and silky.

3. Dip the Strawberries in Chocolate

Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, twirling it slightly to ensure an even coating.
Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. Add Toppings (Optional)

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your desired toppings over the dipped strawberries.
Popular toppings include chopped almonds, hazelnuts, shredded coconut, crushed cookies, or a pinch of sea salt for a gourmet touch.

5. Let the Chocolate Set

Allow the strawberries to sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes until the chocolate firms up.
If you need them to set faster, place them in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.

6. Serve and Enjoy!

Once the chocolate has hardened, your homemade chocolate-covered strawberries are ready to enjoy.
These treats are best consumed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
