What Do Chocolate Covered Strawberries Taste Like?

This strawberry chocolate bites TikTok recipe will give you the same luscious experience as eating the crowd-pleasing chocolate dipped strawberries. 

Use your favorite chocolate on these TikTok strawberry chocolate bites, whether it’s milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate. I prefer the former because I think the richness of milk chocolate complements the tart-sweet flavor of the strawberries.

But if you have ripe berries on hand, semi-sweet or dark chocolate will be divine.

Besides the flavors, the texture contrast between the soft, juicy strawberries and smooth chocolate coating makes these chocolate dipped strawberries a sure hit. The crunch from the nuts on top is also a welcomed addition! ?

With these treats being bite-sized, you’ll appreciate these flavors and textures in the perfect portion.

They’re also more like chocolate cups, so you’ll get the perfect chocolate-to-strawberry ratio compared to whole berries dipped in chocolate.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Variations

Forget about crunchy chocolate candy bars and say hello to chocolate strawberry crunch bites.

Instead of submerging the strawberry slices in pure melted chocolate, stir some puffed quinoa into the melted chocolate.

Chocolate strawberry yogurt clusters

This one is a personal favorite of mine: chocolate strawberry yogurt clusters!

We’ll make a mixture of Greek yogurt, chopped strawberries, vanilla extract, and to sweeten things up, some honey.

Freeze scoops of this yogurt mix on a lined baking sheet for an hour or two and then dip them in melted chocolate. 

I know these frozen clusters are not as quick and simple as our 3-ingredient strawberry chocolate cups, but they’re still a fun take on chocolate dipped strawberries.

Chocolate covered strawberry banana bites

Tips About Making This TikTok Strawberry Chocolate Recipe

• The most convenient way to melt chocolate for these TikTok strawberry bites is in the microwave. Melt the chocolate with a bit of coconut oil on half power at 30-second intervals, stirring in between intervals until smooth. Just make sure not to overheat your chocolate, or it can get grainy!
• If you don’t want to risk burning chocolate quickly, melt it in a double boiler! Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water, bring it to a simmer, and put the chocolate chips on top. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is lump-free. 
• Make these chocolate-covered strawberry bites for Valentine’s and give your beloved the cutest treats! Use a heart-shaped muffin pan, and I bet your partner will love these bites over those store-bought candy hearts.

How To Store Chocolate Bites

I think everyone who loves chocolate covered strawberry bites knows that the best way to store these delectable treats is on the counter at room temperature.

Why?

We don’t want the strawberry bites to sweat!

Just cover the plate of chocolate-dipped strawberries loosely with plastic wrap and enjoy them within the day of making them for the best experience.

• Fridge: Want to keep your TikTok strawberry chocolate bites to last longer? You can refrigerate them, but expect sweating. The solution? Line the airtight container with paper towels first. The bites should last in the fridge for up to 2 days. (If you can resist them!)
• Freezer: It’s best not to freeze your chocolate strawberry cups as the berries can become mushy after thawing.

What Kind of Chocolate Is Best for Dipping Strawberries?

The best chocolate for dipping strawberries is high-quality couverture chocolate. Thanks to its high quantity of cocoa butter, this chocolate melts smoothly.

This is also why it’s often favored for molding!

But if you find couverture chocolate too pricey, you can always use semi-sweet chocolate chips. They balance the sweetness of ripe strawberries, perfect if you prefer desserts that aren’t super sweet.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of preference.

I personally like milk chocolate for dipping strawberries, as I often end up getting tart berries. You can also use white chocolate and have different flavors of dipped berries.

What about those intimidated by melting chocolate at home?

You can always start with melting wafers. ?

How Do You Keep Chocolate Melted When Dipping?

If the chocolate starts to harden and you’re still not done making your chocolate-covered strawberry bites, just quickly melt it again in the microwave and stir until smooth. 

Oh, and don’t forget to pat the strawberries dry with paper towels!

It’s important that your strawberries are dry, or the chocolate can seize, making the dipping mixture grainy.

And if the strawberries came from the fridge, you want them to come to room temperature first to avoid condensation that can make it hard for the chocolate coating to stick.

FAQ About Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Can I make this TikTok strawberry chocolate in advance?

For the best taste and texture, it’s best to make these strawberry chocolate bites on the same day you intend to serve them. 

Do you have to use fresh strawberries for these strawberry chocolate bites?

The juiciness of fresh strawberries makes them the best choice for these strawberry chocolate cups. But if they’re unavailable, you can also use freeze-dried strawberry slices.

Why do people dip strawberries in chocolate?

People started appreciating the pairing of fresh strawberries and chocolate way back in the 1960s. We can thank Lorraine Lorusso for creating chocolate dipped strawberries. With the delightful combination of their flavors and textures, it’s not a surprise why people enjoy chocolate covered strawberries.

Should strawberries be cold before dipping in chocolate?

No. Use room-temperature strawberries for dipping in chocolate. The temperature change from being in the fridge to somewhere warmer can lead to condensation. The resulting moisture will make it hard for the chocolate coating to stick!

Do you refrigerate strawberries after dipping in chocolate?

You don’t have to refrigerate strawberries dipped in chocolate, as chilling can also cause them to sweat. Unless you want them to last up to 2 days, you can just store them in a tray covered with a plastic sheet for the best texture and taste. 

Conclusion

Make these TikTok strawberry chocolate bites for a new take on everyone’s favorite duo: chocolate and strawberries!

They’re perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or even just on a random day when you feel like having something sweet, tart, and chocolatey. ?

These treats only need 3 simple ingredients: your favorite chocolate chips, fresh strawberry slices, and crunchy peanuts. 

Instead of dipping whole strawberries in melted chocolate, you’ll arrange them in the cups of a muffin tin. This makes it quicker and less messy to make chocolate dipped strawberries!

After the chocolate strawberry cups set in the fridge, top them with chopped nuts for an added crunch, and they’re ready to be enjoyed.
