Chocolate Covered Strawberries

I was contacted by Chocoley, an Atlanta based Chocolate company about trying their product.  It’s chocolate so of course I said yes.  I have tried a few different recipes with their chocolate but today I am posting about my Chocolate Covered Strawberries.  I made them using both chocolate and white chocolate.  They were awesome.  How bad can they be – it’s chocolate and fruit.  Now, I do have to admit, and any real baker will know that I blew the recipe.  I didn’t make a melting chocolate.  I used sweetened condensed milk instead of cream.  Result is a thick chocolate.  Nothing wrong with the taste just more of a truffle like consistency.  Live and learn.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup each white and dark chocolate
• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract, divided
• 1 pint of strawberries

Directions:

In a sauce pan, heat the sweetened condensed milk on medium heat.  Cook until just warm and take off the stove.  Place the chocolate chips in separate bowls and add 1/2 of the heated condensed milk to each bowl.  Stir each bowl until the chocolate is fully incorporated.  Add 1 tsp vanilla extract to each bowl and mix.

Take the strawberries and dip into each chocolate bowl and place on parchment paper.  Move the covered strawberries to the fridge to let the chocolate set.

Serve and enjoy!
