Calories 88kcal
Ingredients
- 6 oz dark chocolate chips
- 12 large strawberries
- 5 oz caramel squares
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Make sure your strawberries are COMPLETELY dry. The tiniest bit of water or moisture will make the chocolate seize. Plus, melted chocolate will not stick to any bruised parts of the strawberry so make sure they are in the best condition.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Using a double boiler, slowly melt chocolate over medium-low heat.
- You can also melt the chocolate in a microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate!
- Using completely dried strawberries, dip each strawberry, one by one, into the melted chocolate.
- Coat the strawberries, but do not completely immerse the berries in the chocolate. Lay each chocolate coated berry onto the prepared pan after dipping.
- In a medium saucepan combine caramel and heavy cream and melt over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Once melted, using a fork dip into the caramel sauce and drizzle in a zig zag pattern over the chocolate covered strawberries.
- Do not completely coat the strawberries in caramel, just a drizzle will do. You don’t want to lose any teeth on these babies.
- Sprinkle salt over the caramel covered strawberries.
- Chill strawberries for 15 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
Notes
Serving Suggestions: Serve on popsicle sticks or skewers for the kids or with champagne for the adults!
Cooking Tips: Use a good quality chocolate or you will have a grainy mess.
I can not stress enough to make sure your strawberries are completely dry before dipping them into the melted chocolate. Otherwise, the chocolate will not stick to the berries.
TO STORE: These are best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, otherwise they will sweat out juice. Remember take them out of the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to serving for caramel to soften a little.
