What Kind of Chocolate Should I use For Chocolate Dipped Strawberries?
The best kind of chocolate to use for this recipe is the chocolate you already have in your cupboard. Milk, white, dark, or even candy melts work just fine. If you are BUYING chocolate to dip strawberries I always say go with what YOU like best. For me that’s milk chocolate for others in my house it’s dark chocolate. You do you! Just buy chocolate for melting as it melts best.
Can I use Chocolate Chips for Chocolate Dipped Strawberries?
YES! Often times chips are not made to melt. You CAN make chocolate chips work for chocolate-dipped strawberries BUT they require a little babysitting in the double boiler, melt them a little slower than melting chocolate.
And if they’re acting funny add a tiny bit of cooking oil, just 1-2 drops to help them melt smoothly. Do Not Add Butter to chocolate to make it melt smoothly, it has water in it and will seize your chocolate. That’s why you dry your berries completely because ANY water will cause your chocolate to get hard.
