White Chocolate Baking Chips – I love using Lily’s when it comes to baking chocolate!
Before we get to the good stuff, I just have to tell you a little bit about Lilly's baking chocolate. This company actually sources ingredients that are non-GMO, gluten-free, and no added sugar. also if you are on Weight Watchers most of her chocolate is sweetened with stevia. You guessed it! Lower points!
Can I use a Different Kind of Dipping Chocolate?
Absolutely! Use your favorite! If you are following a Weight Watchers plan, just be sure to account for the points. The Wilton brand of chocolate’s melt really well, but that is not as much of a natural ingredient when compared to Lily’s.
I don’t have piping gel, what can I use?
Piping gel is only a suggestion and for those who want to get a little more creative and colorful! We actually just use some extra chocolate and piped on.
Tips For Making Halloween Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Before you get started make sure you rinse and pat your strawberries dry.
Using a double boiler to melt chocolate is a really easy way and ensures that the chocolate doesn't overheat to wear it curdles. if you don't have a double boiler feel free to microwave the chocolate in short increments while stirring often.
If you are using sprinkles you want to be sure that you dip your strawberry while the chocolate is still warm or before it sets.
If you are looking to pipe other designs onto the berries this is done best after they have set up a little bit.
