We love hosting get togethers every year for the Oscars. These chocolate-covered strawberries were not only delicious, but they were spot-on for the theme of the night.
What you’ll need to make these:
- Strawberries
- 2 bags White Wilton Candy Melts
- 16 ounces of chocolate
- 2 tablespoons of shortening
- wax paper or parchment paper
Steps to make tuxedo strawberries
- Wash strawberries and dry with paper towel. Strawberries must be dry before dipping into the chocolate!
- Melt the white Wilton candy melts, following instructions on the packaging.
- Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
- Dip strawberries into the melted white chocolate and place onto the cookie sheet, one at a time.
- Place cookie sheet of strawberries into the refrigerator until white chocolate is hardened (about 15 minutes).
- Melt the milk or dark chocolate, along with the 2 tablespoons of Crisco until the chocolate is smooth. I take the same approach with this as I do for the Wilton Candy melts (short intervals in the microwave, stirring each time).
- Dip each white chocolate covered strawberry into the melted brown chocolate, dipping at an angle on one side and then dipping at the other angle to make the V-line resembling the tuxedo jacket (see photo below).
- Use a toothpick dipped into the melted dark chocolate to make the buttons and the bows. You’ll notice I only created the bows on some of the strawberries that I decorated.
And that’s it! Tuxedo Chocolate Covered Strawberries!
