Product Information

For best results, don’t refrigerator your strawberries unless necessary. Set chocolate at room temperature and store at room temperature. If you are in a warm climate and need to refrigerate your strawberries to set, then allow 15-30 minutes to harden in the refrigerator, then remove. Chocolate does not like being cold. While they still provide actual protection for the gifts within, the design to be less bulky and small in size, making them informal to carry and take up less space . A few of these ideas are as simple as pressing something into the wet chocolate after the berry is dipped. Chocolate curls and gold dragees both make this easy candy super elegant. You could also use white sugar pearls on white chocolate for a really classy, wedding-appropriate look. And of course, with the wide variety of sprinkles out there these days, the sky’s the limit! If desired, melt some white chocolate chips, peanut butter, Coconut Butter, or almond butter. Use a spoon to drizzle it over the hardened chocolate strawberries. Or pour the melted chocolate into a plastic bag, cut a tiny bit off the side of the bag to make a small hole, and squeeze the chocolate out in a swirl or your preferred design.

Eat them ASAP. This is probably a “duh” statement, but these have a very short shelf life! I think Chocolate-Covered Strawberries are best within a few hours of dipping, and when possible should be eaten the day they are made. Of course, there’s nothing in the ingredients list that means they can’t survive 2-3 days in the refrigerator, but I find the taste and texture to be best when they’re eaten soon after they’re assembled.As far as the type of chocolate, it is entirely your preference: semi-sweet, milk, white, bittersweet, etc. or a combination (for example 4 oz white, 4 oz. semi-sweet.) How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries For one thing, Valentine’s Day is just a month away ( ahem, subtle hint for my blog-reading husband right there) and nothing says loooooove like a big plate of chocolate-covered berries. To make the people feel special while receiving the chocolate, these boxes for chocolate Covered strawberries have to be made to contain beautiful quotes, messages, or images. In this space, the business can also talk about the quality of their goods or any other necessary characteristics to potential customers.

The other ideas involve mixing dark and white chocolate to beautiful effect. If you swirl them together just a bit in a bowl, and then dip the berry in the swirled chocolate, you can create a really lovely marbled pattern on the berries. I love this one because it’s so simple, but it looks really striking, and every berry is completely unique! You can also mix it up and use any colors you like—so for Valentine’s Day you could marble with pink, red, and white! These custom boxes are crucial for preserving greenness and your status together, so that’s why boxes for strawberries have become so demanded as they fulfill the purpose of strengthening the brand position in the competitive market and are even used as a marketing tool. Follow same instructions for melting white chocolate as for semi-sweet chocolate. Transfer white chocolate to a sandwich size plastic bag, snip a very small tip off the corner of the bag and drizzle or create patterns.

The chocolate berries can be made ahead of time by a few hours or up to a day. If serving the day they are made, it is best to leave uncovered and to not refrigerate. However, if the chocolate covered strawberries will be sitting out for over eight hours, they should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for freshness. Applying eye-catchy or colorful themes draws attention, sends a message, and beautiful quotes make customers feel special. Prep everything. You want your strawberries, workspace and all toppings prepped so once you your chocolate is melted there is no time between dipping, coating and placing. To prep, simply line a baking sheet with parchment paper (so its easily transportable) and make all of your coating preparations such as chopping, toasting etc. then place coatings in dippable bowls. Make someone feel extra special by creating your own customized box or arrangement with the fruit of your choice, such as a bundle with a bouquet of pineapple flowers and chocolate-dipped strawberries topped with ground hazelnuts or confetti sprinkles.For an extra treat, add a chocolate pop printed with a themed message.

Whether it’s a themed gathering or would like to enhance your customized theme print, these boxes can be something one absolutely want to be sending their gifts in.For one pound of strawberries you will need 8 oz. baking chocolate – not chocolate chips. Baking chocolate is pure chocolate without any added ingredients and therefore tastes superior but more importantly for our purposes, it melts and coats much better. Stop microwaving the chocolate when almost all of the chocolate is melted but not completely then vigorously stir to melt the remaining chocolate until smooth. This keeps you from overcooking your chocolate. Chocolate Covered Strawberries enveloped in luscious decadent chocolate are super easy to make with only 3 ingredients! Line a baking tray or large plate with parchment paper or wax paper, and set it aside. Or get out a piece of Styrofoam (see below). Use high quality chocolate for best results. I used semi-sweet chocolate but you can use milk, white, bittersweet, etc. or a combination. White chocolate coated in red sprinkles or stripes or crushed candy canes is fabulous for the holidays.

Tropical Fruit Box is also one of the few sources of Del Monte’s limited edition PinkGlow Pineapple, a rare pineapple grown in volcanic soil in Costa Rica that is exactly what it sounds like: a pineapple with pink flesh that's sweeter and less acidic in taste than a golden pineapple. In addition to exotic fruits, Tropical Fruit Box also sells fresh ginger and turmeric, the perfect addition to a DIY smoothie. Wash and dry strawberries VERY WELL. Your strawberries must be completely dry before dipping otherwise the moisture will cause the chocolate to seize and turn lumpy and solidify. Start by washing your strawberries, then placing them on a paper towel or cloth towel to dry. Because water will make chocolate seize, it is very important to dry the berries completely before dipping in the chocolate sauce.Use ripe strawberries that are bright red (with minimal whiteness on the tips) so they are not only beautiful but flavorful as well. Take care your strawberries aren’t too ripe or they will be mushy. Have everything ready to go before you melt your chocolate – your dried strawberries, your parchment paper, your chopped toppings in easily dippable bowls. Your strawberries must be very, very dry otherwise moisture will cause the the chocolate to seize and loose its smooth texture. The majority of the fruit sold by Frog Hollow is grown on its own farm, but during the winter months, the company may supplement from other organic farms. Frog Hollow’s selection changes seasonally; in fall and winter, for example, choose from pears, apples, pluots, Blood oranges, quince, pomegranates, and more. Come summer, be on the lookout for peach season: Frog Hollow grows over 20 different varieties, and they are truly exceptional. Chocolate Covered Strawberries are best served fresh, the same day they are made and stored in a cool place – not in the refrigerator. If stored longer than a day, the berries gradually release moisture so they will gradually get mushy.
