Everyone talking about how they’re ready to make this for their S.O on Valentines Day, but I’m ready to make these for myself on any other day

[@sjcproductionsandmedia]

I bought Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips in white chocolate and milk chocolate. Do I need to add oil and if so what type?

[@karenbarcenas3954]

@@sjcproductionsandmedia you don’t have to add anything to the chocolate

[@sjcproductionsandmedia]

@@karenbarcenas3954 thank you. I found Ghirardelli melting wafers and thought I would have it way easier with those but I found that the semi sweet morsels tasted way better even though it is thicker and harder to work with. I wound up with white chocolate and milk chocolate Ghirardelli wafer strawberries and the semi sweet morsel strawberries and everyone loved them. It took so long to make. I see why people pay others to make them.

[@aemonsatti]

I’m gonna make them for my daughter. Cause that’s true love

Almond bark is actually one of the most recommended chocolates for dipping any type of treat! It’s smooth, tastes good, and melts down nicely/can reheat and reuse. It’s all I’ve ever used for my business and people have said that mine are the best that they’ve ever had. I guess everyone’s different, but I’ve never had complaints.

[@MiniDreamWorld]

Canada sucks we don’t have almond bark here

This is all fancy fancy. I buy some Ghirardelli bars, break them up by their squares, pop it in the microwave until its melted, and dip my patted dry strawberries in them and they always come out perfect lol

[@erikaamir82]

Yay! This is right on time. Wanted to make my mom some chocolate covered strawberries for her birthday next week.

[@daneekaplan4284]

I temper with a scraper on a marble surface and it's so easy. No worrying about temperatures or melting and seeding. I just drop half the chocolate on the marble, scrap it back and forth for a few minutes and I can feel the minute it is in temper by the change in texture. I just started tempering last year. I've only done it a few dozen times but I have never had a fail. I use Callebaut

[@briannacarter7997]

Just here to say that I followed your instructions and they turned out PERFECT!!! The thermometer gun really made a difference. Last time I think the chocolate was too hot and the strawberries were cold so they did not cover or pick up the chocolate well at all. Thanks for the vid ❤️😋

[@msreneethebarber]

I am so glad you confirmed my thinking of storing the strawberries overnight. I made a batch, did not fridge overnight and took left overs to work the next day. Everyone loved them and wanted me to make them for their special someone for Valentines Day. I turned them down because of storage and freshness issues. Love your kitchen.

[@mariachavez3902]

So we shouldn’t store them in the fridge overnight? I want to make some for my coworkers too!

[@Monamipastry]

Congrats for the new studio 😍 it looks lovely also these chocolate covered strawberries looks super cool and lovely

[@LizzieWestBathandBody]

Thank you for this. California does manage to grow some pretty awesome strawberries but unfortunately what everybody doesn't know is the majority of those grade AA strawberries go to Disneyland for their chocolate covered strawberries! Maybe now that Disneyland really isn't open and the strawberry season is about to be upon us we might just get some real gems! Perfect for dipping perfect for chocolate!

I use coconut oil and that takes these babies to a different level also I let them dry standing up, thank you so much for sharing how to temper chocolate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@mrskay1674]

From my experience, coconut oil can be hit it or miss. Sometimes it helped with the melting and sometimes it made it hard...plus it tends to leave a taste on the berries. What has helped in the past for me is using a small drop of veggie oil.

[@plontkegurl9529]

@@mrskay1674 What does the oil help with? Do you temper your chocolate?

[@mrskay1674]

@@plontkegurl9529 The oils just help the chocolate melt thinner and be smooth so that you can easily dip it. But honestly using a good high quality chocolate limits having to add anything. Even though it can be a little more expensive but its worth it.

For anyone wanting to colour the chocolate with gel food colouring, here's an alternative : Add a little bit of oil in your melted chocolate and then add your gel food color. This trick is shown in many videos from Rosie's dessert spot. In the linked video below, she explains it at 1'55 and also in the description box. Hope it's useful for someone :p kzbin.info/www/bejne/kInSip99jcmarcU

[@SugarGeekShow]

You can’t do that for tempered chocolate :)

[@zaza7594]

@@SugarGeekShow yes you're right ! A lot of bakers on KZbin do not specify if their chocolate is tempered or not, if it's even real chocolate or compound chocolate... It's misleading but I researched it and yes you're absolutely right ! The method used by the other baker is for compound chocolate or non tempered chocolate.

[@sylvia5623]

@@zaza7594 but if it's non-tempered isn't it soft and doesn't make for a nice dipped strawberry? That's why I'm here.. my dipped strawberries were always moist and the chocolate was soft.

[@zaza7594]

@@sylvia5623 to be honest I don't know what a dipped strawberry should taste like ^^ we don't really have that where I'm from, I mean it's not that popular as far as I know. But after a bit of research I found many many videos of chocolate anything (strawberry, chocolate bar, name it) when the chocolate was NOT tempered. So my guess is part of the people don't care if it goes soft because they refrigerate it enough and part of the people use compound chocolate but they just call it chocolate which just confused me a lot. Now I know better ;)

[@sylvia5623]

@@zaza7594 oh, even if it isn't made like the professionals make it, it all tastes the same. All this effort is just about the presentation. I would recommend just melting some chocolate and dipping it to eat some. It's really good!
