New Level Dipped Strawberries

Dipped strawberries are a classic when it comes to Valentine’s Day or even just giving to that special person you know who loves them! Here are three new ways to fancy up your dipped strawberries that will undoubtedly leave the meal complete!

Serves: 2-4 people (Depending on how hungry you are at the end of the meal)

Ingredients:

• 1 Pint, Fresh Strawberries (about 15 strawberries)
• 50 g Dark chocolate
• 80 g White Chocolate, divided
• ⅓ Cup Natural Peanut Butter

Directions:

1. Wash strawberries and allow to completely dry. You’ll need to ensure all moisture is dried up to make the perfect dipped strawberry.
2. Prepare your three dips:

White chocolate: Place 50 g of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 65 seconds. If the chocolate comes out with a few chunks, you can stir to allow the rest to melt. If the chocolate needs more time to melt, place back into the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds.

Dark chocolate: Place 50 g of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 55 seconds. If the chocolate comes out with a few chunks, you can stir to allow the rest to melt. If the chocolate needs more time to melt, place back into the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds.

White Chocolate Peanut Butter: Place ⅓ Cup of Peanut butter and 30 g of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 45 seconds. Remove and mix the ingredients to combine the white chocolate and the peanut butter. If the mixture needs more time to melt, place back into the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds.

3. Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
4. Dip each strawberry into the preferred melted chocolate or peanut butter mixture and place on the baking sheet. If you’d like, you can drizzle some of the left over sauces on top of the dipped strawberries.
5. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes (or freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes) to allow the chocolate/peanut butter chocolate mixture to harden. The peanut butter mixture may require a long period of time to harden onto the strawberries.
6. Remove from the refrigerator at least 10 minutes before serving to bring to room temperature.
