DIY - Chocolate Dipped Groom Berries
In searching for wedding favors, I've come across these chocolate dipped strawberries many times but after glancing at the price tag of around $5.00 each, it was never an option for me to have these as favors until today. I found this recipe for chocolate dipped strawberries at simplyrecipes.com and was so glad that the instructions were for making the same Tuxedo Strawberries that I adore so much. Look how charming they are and you can make Bride Berries too just using white chocolate and drizzling some of it across each one to add a pattern like in the photo below.
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Recipe
Ingredients
- 24-30 strawberries, fresh
- 6 ounces of white chocolate
- 8 ounces of dark chocolate
1 Wash and dry the strawberries, making sure the berries are fully dry as water will cause chocolate to seize up.
2 Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Follow the melting directions on the package.
3 Dip the strawberry in the white chocolate, holding onto the stem or the "shoulders" of the strawberry. Give it a quick little twist and shake with your fingers to shake off the excess and then point it at the ceiling for a second or two to ensure that the chocolate adheres. Place on a piece of wax paper to let dry.
4 Melt the dark chocolate according to the instructions on the package. Dip the strawberry in at a 45 degree angle from both sides to make the "jacket". Let the excess drip off. Place on wax paper to dry.
5 Place some melted dark chocolate into a piping bag with a very small tip, or in a ziplock bag with the little corner snipped off and pipe on buttons and bow tie.
6 Allow to dry and cool. (If drying seems to go too slowly, place them in the freezer for about 3-5 minutes.)
Best eaten the day they are made.
