Love is in the air—and so is chocolate! There’s just something fancy about chocolate-covered strawberries, right? They’re the ultimate romantic treat, especially these Valentine’s Day Chocolate Covered Strawberries. Dipped in silky white chocolate and dressed up with royal icing hearts and a dash of edible glitter, they’re basically dessert dressed to impress. Bring them to the office, a Galentine’s hangout, or surprise your partner—because this is one treat everyone is falling for!
As I’ve mentioned before, I worked in a chocolate factory for 13 years—so dressing up chocolate treats is SO FUN for me. Honestly, I love giving everything a little glow-up, and these strawberries are no exception.
I wanted these berries to have that extra Valentine’s Day sparkle, so I gave them a little makeover. Enter: edible pink glitter dust. This used to be kind of tricky to find, but now? It’s everywhere—Walmart, Michaels, baking supply stores. If you’re feeling fancy, grab a pump and get spraying. It makes everything look ✨magical ✨.
For an extra Valentine’s touch, I added the cutest royal icing hearts. These are made by my friend Rebecca over at Roses and Whiskers—she’s seriously so talented. I hope you check out her shop! She also makes the most adorable seasonal sprinkles (you know I love themed sprinkles), and these hearts even have a little glittery sparkle. Basically, her stuff = instant dessert upgrade.
I’ve found that even people who say they don’t love dessert will happily grab a chocolate-covered strawberry. And if white chocolate is too sweet for those folks, swap it for dark! It’s just as delicious and gives a really rich flavor.
Q: How far in advance can I make chocolate-covered strawberries?
A: These berries are best enjoyed fresh, but you can make them up to 24 hours ahead. Store them in the fridge, uncovered or loosely covered, to avoid condensation.
Q: Can I use a different type of chocolate?
A: Absolutely! Milk, dark, or even pink melts work perfectly. Mix and match too!
Q: Why is my chocolate sliding off the strawberries?
A: Make sure your strawberries are completely dry before dipping. Also, let the melted chocolate cool slightly—it should be smooth and warm, not too hot, so it clings nicely.
Q: Where can I find edible glitter and royal icing hearts?
A: Most baking supply stores, craft stores, or online retailers like Amazon have them. You can also swap in heart sprinkles or mini candy hearts if you prefer. I got my hearts here!
Q: How should I store leftovers?
A: If you manage not to eat them all (impressive!), store them in the fridge for 1–2 days. They may sweat a little but will still taste delicious!
Now, let’s sprinkle some fun! I love bringing treats to friends and family, but there’s something extra fun about sharing them with co-workers. If you’re able, pack a few snacks—or even a mini charcuterie board with heart-shaped cheese and plenty of crackers. Serve these strawberries as a sweet little dessert, and you’ll be the hit of the office!
