Patriotic Strawberries Recipe FAQs
Should strawberries be cold before dipping?
Nope. You actually want the strawberries to be at room temperature, or the chocolate won’t adhere properly.
How to pick the best strawberries at the grocery store?
Select larger berries that are bright red and plump for these Fourth of July strawberries. Avoid those that are shriveled or soft.
Can you make these patriotic chocolate-covered strawberries overnight?
You can make these patriotic treats in advance. And if you have leftovers, you can refrigerate them in an airtight container lined with a paper towel for up to 2 days. These festive strawberries can sweat in the fridge, so they’ll look best the same day they’re made!
Why is chocolate not sticking to my strawberries?
Any leftover moisture on the strawberries will keep the chocolate from sticking.
How do you melt white chocolate without it going lumpy?
White chocolate will seize if it comes into contact with water, so make sure your tools are completely dry before melting!
