Chocolate Covered Strawberries With a Wilton Chocolate Heater

This is how to make Chocolate covered strawberries using a Wilton Chocolate Heater. Chocolate covered Strawberries are an easy quick treat to make any time of the year.

This is my first instructable

1. strawberries
2. two paper plates or normal plates
3. I bag of chocolate chips
4. a cookie sheet pan or anything that can be put into the refrigerator (you can also use the paper plates)
5. parchment paper (if using the pan or container this is highly recommended)
6. Wilton Chocolate heater

The first step is to plug in the heater. This is the first step because you want the heater to be warming up, while you are prepping the strawberries.

The second thing you want to do after plugging in the heater is to wash the strawberries. This makes sure all the strawberries are clean.

After washing the strawberries put them to the side and grab the bag of chocolate. Dump the entire bag of chocolate into the heater. If you have more strawberries than in the photos shown then you may want to add more chocolate, if you have less than shown you may want to add a little bit less chocolate. (For reference the container in the photo in step two has about 18 strawberries in it)

After poring the chocolate into the heater you want to stir it regularly. The chocolate melts very fast.

Before dipping the strawberries into the chocolate make sure it is fully melted and have no chocolate chunks in it. This will make it so the chocolate is smoother and easier to dunk.

Before putting the strawberries into the chocolate you want to do a couple things. First make sure the strawberry if fully dry. You may want to dry it with a paper towel. This will make the chocolate stick better. You can also dunk the strawberries by either stabbing it with a fork or holding it by its stem. Once there is less chocolate if you are using the fork you may want to switch to hold the strawberries stem due to it being easier to dunk/coat the strawberries in the chocolate.

For this step you want to make sure almost all but the top/stem part of the strawberry is covered. Make sure that the strawberry is well coated on all sides.

After the strawberries are coated well on all sides you want to place it on whatever you are using to hold the strawberries/putting them in the refrigerator. Make sure the strawberries are not touching though! I used a cookie sheet pan and parchment paper. Repeat steps 6-8 until all the strawberries are coated.

After all the strawberries are coated in the chocolate and put on what you are using to hold them (in this case the cookie sheet and parchment paper) Put them into the refrigerator until they have hardened.

Once the strawberries have hardened completely take them out of the refrigerator.

Once you take them out of the fridge they are ready to eat. You can serve them in any way you want to. Enjoy!
