What kind of chocolate do you use for chocolate covered strawberries?Chocolate Covered Strawberries only require 3 ingredients so it is important to use quality chocolate – and your Chocolate Covered Strawberries will still be less expensive than store bought! For one pound of strawberries you will need 8 oz. baking chocolate – not chocolate chips. Baking chocolate is pure chocolate without any added ingredients and therefore tastes superior but more importantly for our purposes, it melts and coats much better. As far as the type of chocolate, it is entirely your preference: semi-sweet, milk, white, bittersweet, etc. or a combination (for example 4 oz white, 4 oz. semi-sweet.)

Do you need to refrigerate chocolate covered strawberries?Nope! Chocolate Covered Strawberries don’t contain any ingredients that need to be refrigerated and they actually are better when not refrigerated but rather kept in a cool place. You might need to refrigerate your Chocolate Covered Strawberries initially to set for 15-30 minutes, but as soon as they are set, remove them from the refrigerator. How do I store Chocolate Covered Strawberries?Chocolate Covered Strawberries are best served fresh, the same day they are made and stored in a cool place – not in the refrigerator. If stored longer than a day, the berries gradually release moisture so they will gradually get mushy. If weather conditions don’t allow strawberries to be stored outside the refrigerator, then line a sealable container with paper towels (to wick away moisture), place strawberries in a single layer and cover and refrigerate. Be aware that condensation will occur and the chocolate can get white and chalky. You can serve the refrigerated chocolate strawberries chilled or let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Chilled strawberries will have a nice crunch to the chocolate, whereas room temperature strawberries will have slightly softer chocolate. You might also like these Chocolate Recipes:

But before you put chocolate in the fridge, first wrap it tightly to protect against odors and condensation, then seal it in an airtight container. When you take it out, let it come back to room temperature before unwrapping.
Why do chocolate covered strawberries sweat in the fridge?Why Do Chocolate Covered Strawberries Sweat? The sweat is just condensation. Both the chocolate and strawberries contain water and when they are subjected to a big temperature change, like going from a chilly fridge to a comfortable room temperature, this brings out the moisture.
How do you store chocolate covered strawberries so they don't sweat?To avoid sweating or leaking, it's best to make chocolate covered strawberries the same day you plan to serve them. But the good news is, they will keep at room temperature for as long as 10 hours, without a problem. Just leave them in a cool, dry place, uncovered, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Can chocolate covered strawberries sit in fridge overnight?If you want to keep your chocolate covered strawberries for up to 48 hours, you can refrigerate them. You might even be able to get several days out of your berries, but they're usually best within two days.
