Is there anything more romantic than Pioneer Woman chocolate-covered strawberries? Well, maybe some champagne-soaked strawberries, but that’s a whole different story.

WHAT IS THE BEST CHOCOLATE FOR STRAWBERRIES?
I recommend using a 50/50 combination of semi-sweet chocolate and milk chocolate. Use your favorite brand of chocolate. You can also add dark chocolate.
DO I NEED TO USE COCONUT OIL IN CHOCOLATE?
The best result is a combination of coconut oil and melted chocolate. The chocolate hardens and hardens faster and a bit thicker than regular melted chocolate, and acts like a chocolate shell (magic shell). It does not add any additional flavor to the chocolate, it is only for consistency ONLY.

- Strawberries are at the pinnacle of their season in June, essentially for a large portion of North America. A cup of these brilliant red berries has 100% of your everyday Nutrient C requirements, and they’re sound good.
- Coconut oil is utilized in light of the fact that it’s strong at room temperature. In the event that you don’t have (or don’t have any desire to utilize) it, you can utilize a balance of dissolved spread alongside an unbiased, dull oil like sunflower oil. Great quality coconut oil has parts that increment great cholesterol.
- Three sorts of heating chips are utilized for this – dim chocolate preparing chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips – for an astonishing and debauched treat. In case you fairly make it a bit less difficult, either the dull or semi-sweet chocolate can be forgotten about and supplanted with a greater amount of the kind you’re utilizing.
- Walnuts are loaded with fiber and contain monounsaturated fats which advance stable heart wellbeing.
SO THEY’RE HEALTHY?
There’s nothing Unhealthy? In these sweet treats other than the fat and sugar in the preparing chips. The hazier the chips – that is, the more cocoa solids in them, the less sugar they’ll have.
Cocoa is loaded with cell reinforcements and minerals like iron. It brings down circulatory strain, further develops mind work, and lessens aggravation.
WHAT CAN YOU PUT ON PIONEER WOMAN PIONEER WOMAN CHOCOLATE-COVERED STRAWBERRIES?
For additional ideas for coating strawberries, dip strawberries in melted chocolate as above, then dip in crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, chocolate flakes, or coconut flakes.
FOR ADULT CHOCOLATE SUITABLE STRAWBERRIES:
- Place the strawberries in a large bowl. Pour the alcohol of your choice (champagne, vodka, Kahlua, brandy, etc.) in a bowl to completely cover the strawberries.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
- Drain the strawberries in a colander, reserving alcohol for future use. Thoroughly pat dry strawberries with a paper towel.
- Melt the chocolate as indicated above and continue with the recipe.
The success of this recipe depends on two things:
- First, the strawberries must be completely dry before dipping. Otherwise, the chocolate will not adhere correctly. For best results, allow the strawberries to air dry for at least an hour before dipping in the melted chocolate.
- Second, to avoid chocolate that breaks apart and falls off the strawberries when you bite into it, be sure to add some form of oil to the melted chocolate prior to dipping. If you don’t have coconut oil, you can use an equal amount of melted butter or a neutral (tasteless) oil, such as sunflower oil, instead.
