Wash your berries in cold water & give them a spray of apple cider vinegar to get rid of any bugs or dirt. Do this the night before and make sure they're dry before putting them back in the fridge. Always keep your berries in the fridge until it's time to dip them. Take them out 30 - 45 minutes before dipping to bring them to room temperature and pat each one to make sure they're dry.
Thank you for the tips I appreciate that 💖
Props and Kudos to you and all the mom's of small children who work and do this with your little ones. You all ROCK!!

Strawberries look so beautiful. Look at your baby she's helping 😍. So sweet.
You are THE BEST at explaining tutorials HUGE PROPS to you, thank so much for this, definitely sharing!
Thank you for sharing your skills with us .... who else is here on Valentines 💝 trying to learn
Very detailed and simple instructions. Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the tips! The more liquidy it is, the less time it needs in the microwave. But never longer than 25 sec increments. Hoping to make this on Valentine’s Day. (:
Yummers!!! Totally going to make with my kiddies thanks for the video ❤️🥰
chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite but I haven't done it myself. thanks for sharing this video. keep on vlogging. let's stay connected. stay safe. God bless.
This made it so much easier thanks 🥰

Great video! I think the easiest thing Would’ve been to show your subscribers how you melt the chocolate versus telling them hence this is a tutorial and most people look and learn.
this is exactly what i have been looking for all day
Yes. Because prior to this video I went out and purchased chocolate chips and poured them into a coffee cup, placed them into the microwave and they started to burn at almost a minute.
and your baby is so cute your channel really helps me you spread lots of positivity have a good day bye

Almond bark is just the name. It doesn’t contain almonds 😊 my son has a severe peanut allergy and he eats my cake pops which I dip in almond bark.
Thank you for letting me know !!
I had no idea . 😊
Me either
Is it really chocolate ma'am?
i seen someone say gift ? i’m here for myself and i’m learning this for me not anyone else
Love your video 🙂
Thanks for the video and tips. I made chocolate covered strawberries for the first time.....Small side note; Almonds are actually a seed, not a nut
Las fresas , nescesitaban al menos 2 enjuagues mas la primera saco la tierra de las fresas ,pero aun quedan impurezas x lo cual un solo enjuague es insalubre ..requieren un lavado minucioso .. y para secarlas se deben escurrir en un colador y luego dejarlas extendidas ,hasta que hayan secado completamen lo contrario causaria que al bañarlas bote agua y se dañe completamente ..estos pasos son muy importantes de mencionar oara que el siguiente paso ,que es bañarlas quede optimo.,con unas fresas frescas y fe consistencia perfrcta y saludables ...espero que esta sugerencia sea de utilidad ..x lo demas ..tu trabajo cubriendolas fue muy hermoso las fresas cubiertas de chocolate quedaron perfectas!y muy lindas!🍓🌸
Hard working mama 😍
you sound like esthalla from familia diamond!?. lol me out here bored in quarantine watching my fav snack. and commenting while watching.
New subbie, great work. Where is the link for the plastic container for the strawberries? Where did you purchase them please? Thanks and blessings from N.C.Carolyn
They came out beautiful I love how you explained everything. How long in advance do you suggest making them? I’m not sure if it’s the chocolate I used but my strawberries got soggy after a couple of hours
Hello ! Usually I make them the day I need them for a client or when I’m going to eat them :) I never make them days in advance Because the strawberries do get soggy . I don’t think the chocolate has anything to do with it. And I usually try and cover as much of the strawberry that I can :) I hope this helps !! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much ! Stay safe ❤️
Hi,IAM watching from the Philippines.
thank you so much the first time i made them i used nutella and put it in the micorwave if u do use Nutella how many seconds do u put it in the microwave and my starwberries dont cover properly i dont know why it just comes of.
Did you add oil to the chocolate? Love these 💕
Hello. Can I make this the day before and store them in the fridge and it would still be good the next day?!
I loved the vid!! 🥰& you’re so pretty 🥺💕
Aww thank you so much !! ❤️❤️
The box is not 2 dollars but it’s still cute 🥺, thank you for the tutorial!!!
When you dip your chocolate its cooled down right ? Am just asking cuz am starting ☺️
How do you store them after dipping? At room temperature?
Like it good idea. Where can I buy the chocolate?
Where did you buy the plastic long container for strawberries
What do you do with the extra chocolate?
Can you pleaseeeee give me the link or the name of the website where I can find those boxes? 💖
@laura gomez What’s the link for the containers?
Can I use white chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips to do this?
One questio to make it pink do you use pink food coloring to the white. Chocolate ?
We’re do you get box from or strawberries holder
hey where can i get the pink chocolate from ?
Can you please tell me where you get the gift box? thank you.
How do you harden the chocolate covered strawberries
Question why does my strawberry fall of the leaves I’ve tried toothpicks and I’ve also tried Wilton dipping accessories and they end up falling
Wow
Can you link the little box? I can’t find them anywhere
For the candy melts did you do the whole bag ? And how many second and should it be thick or loose
Hello I usually fill up my container that I’m using and it’s about 1 cup of chocolate .
I microwave my chocolate 20 seconds at a time until it’s melted i mix it every time I take it out of the microwave to make sure that it’s evenly melted.
The merckens chocolate is very runny so it’s never thick when melted.
I don’t see the link for the clear box to put it in ?
Can you put the link for the plastic containers
Info for the container in which you placed your strawberries in after they where done
Hello, great video. But for some reason when I dip mine and pull them out the chocolate starts to harden and it get like these breaks and has patches. I really can’t explain it lol. But do you let the chocolate cool for a second before you dip cuz mine don’t even be shiny when it’s wet.
Vantoria McCullough yes! So usually when that happens that means
Either the humidity in your area
Or the chocolate is too hot
Usually when I dip my strawberries I completely pat dry them and let them sit out until they’re fully dried .
I melt my chocolate and let it sit for at least 5-8 min before dipping!
Of course this all depends on the temperature in your house !
Chocolate can be so hard to work with 😐
What piping bags are you using here?
I hear “little Baby Bum” 🤗
how do you store the leftover chocolate that you have? Do you let it harden at room temp and then store in a cupboard or fridge?
Hello yes of course so I store it in the container that I melt it in I usually store it in my cupboard as long as your house stays cool your chocolate will be fine :)
Do you save the extra chocolate left overs? If so how do you store it?
Yes I do !
I melt it down and pour it over a sheet of parchment paper , let it dry completely and break it up and store it in a ziplock bag :)
You stated you get that Plastic Holder for the Strawberries Where Cake Walk Where on Line please Provide that Info. I'm in love with that Plastic Holder for the Strawberries My Daughter Bday is In Nov I need that Asap. Thanks For this Easy to do Video I'm in it... Just need that Strawberry Holder... Stay Blessed Have A Safe Week.
Cute baby😍Cuties
Is it okay if I make it the night before?
New subscriber here. Loved the video!!!
Yayyy thank you !!
Do you use food coloring to change the colors of the chocolate ?
Angie J yes I do but I use an oil based food coloring . It doesn’t contain water so it doesn’t mess up the chocolate .
I don't have a microwave can I still do this
Hey do you always get sweating and or condensation on the strawberries cause I tried every method and I still get sweating . Any tips on how to stop this from happening
vickie sanchez do you put them in the fridge ?
yes post some more videos ... and did the box have holes so the strawberries could breathe? lol
Are you able to use a ziplock baggie for the strawberries
Yes of course !
I used to use a ziploc bag :)
It works just as fine just cut a small hole
Omg what is that song in your intro?!!
Where u get that box
Hi did u melt your choclate
Hey can you tag the link to the piping bags I’m kind of confused about purchasing gr8 video !
Try small ziploc bagss works just as good for me
You can definitely use ziplock bags just cut a tiny hole on one end !
Or look up tipless piping bags on amazon

Can i use chocolate chips to make the chocolate surronding?
Brezzy I’ve never tried chocolate chips to be honest , but when dipping strawberries the best chocolate to use is a “coating chocolate”
Do you but them in the Fridge? In the middle of dipping or till the end?
Debhy typically don’t put them in the fridge if they’re for a client I make them fresh just a couple of hours before they are needed .
Sometimes it seems like my darker chocolate takes more than an hour in the fridge to harden. Should I try the freezer for 5 minutes first or Any other suggestions?
Shanita Wright so it definitely shouldn’t take that long at all.
Try using a “coating chocolate “
So that it hardens within minutes .
After dipping you don’t need to refrigerate or freeze your berries if you use a coating chocolate .
Hello, where did you get the holder for your strawberries?
Hello it is from
Itwasalladreamshop.com
How did you get it pink
How long do you allow the strawberries to dry?
Hello,
Typically I make all the strawberries I need , decorate them and wait about 20 min for them to be fully dried and ready for packaging :)
How much would you guys sell this for ?
Omg what’s the song in the beginning
Hi Lauren. Great tutorial. I have a question. Your strawberries look rock solid while you decorate them. How do you do it? My strawberries doesn't get hard until I get them out of the freezer. And then it gets covered with water droplets when I take it out. How do I get rid of that. Please help.
Hi!
You want to make sure you are using a “coating chocolate “ for chocolate covered strawberries you shouldn’t have to put them in the freezer because it causes condensation and sweats
The brand I use is Merkens chocolate or almond bark
@@laurengomez9709 thanks love. I always used nutela or hazelnut while coating. I should not use it?
Your daughter is beautiful ❤️
can i use something other than parchment paper?
the only other thing you can use would be wax paper or a silpat mat
it just prevents its from sticking to the surface
How long do they take to dry after you cover them ?
It should be about 30 seconds to a minute
You’re daughter is beautiful ❤️
Aww thank you so much !!
Where is the link to buy the package? Thank you 🙂
Did you ever find the link?
Did you find the link yet? (:
Those bowls!!!! Beautiful.... where did you get them from? (Bowls at 1:42)
She said the dollar store.
Patty saenz talking about the ceramic flower ones. I understand the plastic melting bowls are from there. But if the ceramic flower bowls are from somewhere else, I’d love to know!
Ls Btn pretty sure she is talking about them and not the chocolate hope she answers you to re assure :)
Ls Btn they are from sams club ;)
Do the candy melts need vegetable oil??
No they do not , when you use a good quality it shouldn’t need oil just make sure not to overheat your chocolate .
Almond bark and merckens chocolate are the brands I recommend
If i make this om friday. Will it last untill sunday?
try making them a day before if you can
@@Brenda951159 oh:/
4:02 ayo
hi do you put the chocolate covered strawberries in the fridge or not?
Hello! No I do not I usually dip hours before I’m going to use them :)
U can put them in the fridge but they do sweat from the condensation
@@laurengomez9709 thank you so much the first time i made them i used nutella and put it in the micorwave if u do use Nutella how many seconds do u put it in the microwave and my starwberries dont cover properly i dont know why it just comes of.
and your baby is so cute your channel really helps me you sprea dlots of possotivity have a good day bye
do you ever use a little bit of oil before melting the chocolate? My chocolate comes out too thick and heating it longer only makes it very clumpy. I need help 😭
heyyy!
so I never have to use oil because of the chocolate brand I use.
in order to get good results with the chocolate you would have to use a brand like "merckens" usually they have it at your local cake supply store or even on etsy!
Im going to be making a video on how to properly melt chocolate soon!
since its a challenge for a lot of people
and if your chocolate is thick that usually means that you heated it for too long.
start off by melting your chocolate for 20 seconds at a time
I usually do that twice , mix it and reheat for 15 seconds
until its melted
remember to stir each time you take it out
after I see that its almost fully melted I let it sit on the counter for 3 minutes and stir it if I see that its not melted all the way ill pop it back in for 10 seconds
lol sorry for the paragraph!
melting chocolate is always a struggle but you just have to go little by little and you'll get the results you want :)
Is the merckens chocolate really sweet?
I use Merkens for my berries. Definitely one of my favorites. Not overly sweet and doesn’t have a bitter taste 😉
No it isn’t very sweet , you can also use dark chocolate if you don’t like the milk chocolate . Dark chocolate has more of a bitter taste but it’s still very delicious 😋
Do you use wilton candy melts?
Hello , no actually I use
Almond bark chocolate in milk chocolate (from Walmart )
And for colors I use Merkens chocolate
Merkens can be found online or sometimes at bakery supply stores
Lauren gomez thanks so much 💛
