Chocolate covered strawberries/ How to dip & Design! 7 different designs

what's happening on YouTube is forever, so why and today I'm back with another video. I'm going to make these beautiful

chocolate

covered

strawberries

, if you guys haven't, go ahead and subscribe to this channel, like this video and leave me. I know what you think in the comments section below, so let's go ahead and start with some freshly washed

strawberries

. I went ahead and washed them in some warm water because you don't want your strawberries to be too cold because then we're going to dip them in the

chocolate

and put them in the refrigerator, it can break the chocolate so make sure the strawberries are at room temperature .

The chocolate I'm using is just some regular chocolate chips. You can use any chocolate. your choice everything will melt the same and I'm using some wood that used to be measuring cups before the numbers on the side and just make sure you're using a microwave safe bowl. I like to use these because of the handles and it's easy it's easy that way so I just want to go in and pour my chocolate into these measuring cups and to really get my chocolate melted I'm going to add two tablespoons of shortening to the chocolate before put them in the microwave, so What I'm going to do is add the two tablespoons of shortening and then I'm going to heat each chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds, this is what it looks like after taking the chocolate out of the microwave for the first 30 seconds.

I add it in and stir it a little bit and then I'll add it back in for another 30 seconds to melt my chocolate for a total of 60 seconds. What butter you really don't need to do as much as you can. tell him that the chocolate really really melts it and it's really very smooth that way it's easy to do it with this some people also use coconut oil so if you have coconut oil you can use that too no one it doesn't affect the flavor you don't even taste it, It just tastes like normal chocolate. If you're wondering, someone will do the same thing with white chocolate.

Well, now I'm going to try a parchment paper on stage and just do it. I'm going to place it on a cake board, this is the stand I had in my cabinet. It's easy, it's a flat surface, but you definitely want to make sure you use parchment paper because you don't want the chocolate to stick. I put it on him every year, so you have to make sure he uses whatever, cover it with parchment paper. Now these are just bags of goodies that I had in my cabinet. You can use Ziploc bags or you can even use a small spray bottle. that these are easier, the spray bottles are too hard for me to clean, so I will use these bags and I can throw them away.

What I've done now I'm going to go ahead and make sure all of my strawberries are completely dry, this step is very important because if you try to wet the strawberry while it's wet it won't stick, it would be a disaster. I had to learn that the hard way, so make sure you dry all the strawberries. and now I'm going to go ahead and take a toothpick and stick them in each of my strawberries because sticking a toothpick in the strawberries helps you dip the strawberries easier, you're just going to take the leafy part of the strawberries and wrap it around a toothpick and boom, it's easy to dip it that way.

I'm going to go ahead and put a hole in my bag. I'm going to go in and pull it out a little bit to make sure it's

covered

. Did I cut it enough to spray my

design

? So guys, for this step, dip the strawberries. It's self explanatory. Simply dip the strawberries. I think I'll stop talking now. You can see this in the next step. So it's just going to be me

design

ing a strawberry, that's why I can't see how I do it guys, and I just wanted to say that this glitter is the non-toxic glitter that I made but that I bought at our local cake supply store. but I think they sell this on Amazon, so I'll try to find the link on Amazon and post it for you, and in case anyone is wondering, the only thing I'm using to make these

designs

is

different

. that a chocolate is a toothpick, as you can see, these are the same toothpicks that I use to put on top of the strawberries, okay, a port, one important thing that I think you should know because this is a mistake that I made when I started. in chocolate, so, for example, I dip the white chocolate strawberry in white chocolate and drizzle it with the dark chocolate.

You want to make sure both chocolates are still moist. This is the only way you will be able to do it. To achieve this beautiful effect. I remember when I started with

different

chocolates I would dip the strawberry in the chocolate, wait for it to dry and then design it so that all these

designs

I'm making are the reason both chocolates are still wet. The only way you can get that marbled effect and you can see how pretty it is so make sure the chocolates are still wet to get this effect so you can blend it like this over all the chalk in all the designs.

I'm making all these chocolates. I'll do it while they're still there. Both chocolates are still wet. Okay, now I'm going to edit X. An edible glitter powder that I bought for my cake supply store. mix it with some lemon extract, if you have vodka, you can also mix the glitter powder with a pocket. I'm going to add a little to the excerpt. I don't have vodka, but they work the same, so I'm going to go ahead and mix that until I get a paint-like texture, so once I have that texture, I'm going to go ahead and set it aside and just continue.

Go ahead and dip the strawberries that will be covered with mustard. Now these are actually the strawberries that you want to be dry, so I'm going to go ahead and wet them and set them aside until they dry. and then I'm going to go paint them with glitter powder a little bit later and I actually thought of another design that I wanted to show you, so I added two more strawberries. I wanted to show you how to make marble. strawberries, so basically what I'm going to say is I didn't add enough white chocolate, so I'm going to add a little bit more white chocolate and then I'm going to dip the strawberry basically, as you can see.

I just decided to drizzle some white chocolate over the dark chocolate, dip the strawberry in and I want to swirl it around a little bit so it disappears like a swirl effect. It's very easy to see by just drizzling that white chocolate over the dark chocolate, take the strawberries. I'm going to dip it in and you can see I'm going to twist it a little bit to give it a twist and it's so pretty, axe, so let's see guys, that's so pretty, so once I'm done with that. I'm just going to take all the strawberries and put them in the refrigerator for about 10 to 20 minutes until they dry out.

The white chocolates are already dry, it is the dark chocolate, as you can see once you start dipping the chocolate. You say that dark chocolate takes forever to dry and white chocolate, for some reason, dries much faster, so once the chocolate is dry, I'm going to go ahead and take my glitter powder and create some designs and patterns. polka dots on strawberries, okay? So now I'm going to spot this edible glitter spray that I bought on Amazon. Sorry, I bought it at Walmart, they have it on Amazon, but I'll definitely find the link and post it below.

For you guys, I'm going to go ahead and it's like a glitter bomb, but it's not really like a glitter, it's more like a glitter, so it gives you a sparkly effect. I'm going to go ahead and I guess I'll spray them. on the strawberries, but I wouldn't, the strawberries would be a little bit brighter, so I'm going to go ahead and take this non-toxic rainbow glitter and I'm just going to sprinkle them over the strawberries just to make them a little bit brighter because they didn't make them a little bit brighter. shiny, but the camera doesn't make T sprinkled strawberries at all because they're actually so pretty, so shiny, so beautiful and now I'm going to go ahead and just take these cupcakes cupcake liners mini cupcake liners and I'll show you how I put the strawberries in the cupcake molds.

I don't know if this part is necessary but I'm just doing it, I don't know why in In case anyone wants to see how you place the cupcakes and the aligners, I want to say that when you take the toothpick out of the strawberries, it's easy to just twist them as you can see and I will go to a certain distance. some assemble these strawberries and the cupcake liners and put them in my little display pan and yeah okay guys these are the famous strawberries and as always thank you all so much for watching this video and if you haven't done, go ahead and subscribe to this channel, are you waiting?
