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.
