Football Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Over the last few years my husband has become a big Patriots fan. He even bought our son two jerseys for Christmas this year. I thought some football chocolate covered strawberries would go great with the baseball chocolate covered strawberries.
What dad wouldn’t love to get some food decorated in the style of sport he loves. These sports dipped strawberries are also perfect for making as a Father’s Day treat.
Tips for Making this recipe
Use the best tools. You will need a very small piping tip to get these kind of details, I was able to find one here.
Use Fresh Strawberries. Choose strawberries that are ripe but still firm. Avoid underripe or overripe and squishy strawberries.
Pick a high quality Dark Chocolate melting chocolate. You will be able to taste the difference!
Don’t make the chocolate to hot! Make sure the chocolate is warm and melted but not overly hot to avoid cooking the strawberries. You want it to be hot enough that it is fully melted, but not so hot that it will shock the strawberries and cause them to ever so slightly ‘cook’ this will affect how long they last for. If you are new to working with chocolate make sure you learn how to melt your chocolate, it is really easy to do with those step by step directions.
Room temperature. Use strawberries that are room temperature. If you keep yours in the fridge let them sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before using them.
Allow enough set time. Once dipped, allow the chocolate to harden and cool at room temperature before you move to the fridge.
Make sure strawberries are dry after being washed. To be certain they were dry I used a paper towel on each berry, including the green tops before dipping.
Prep everything before getting started. Have a tray lined with wax paper ready to go along with the chocolate in a bowl that can easily be dipped into before starting will make your life much easier.
How long will they last?
If your house is like mine these chocolate covered strawberries will be gone in about 20 minutes after you make them. If you do have any left overs then they will keep in the fridge for a few days, however we find them to best enjoyed within 48 hours of making them.
How do you get chocolate to stick to strawberries?
The most important step for making chocolate covered strawberries is making sure they are dry before you dip them in to the melted chocolate.
How to Store Chocolate Covered Strawberries
These Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries are best when eaten the same day they are prepared. They should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. I do not recommend freezing them.

How to Make Football Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Thoroughly wash and dry your strawberries and place them on a plate.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a double boiler melt the chocolate. If you prefer to use the microwave you can by melting the chocolate for 30 seconds at a time and then stirring in between.
Once the white chocolate is melted line up your supplies in order of strawberries, bowl of melted chocolate and then baking sheet.
Grab the strawberry by the green leaf dip and dip the strawberry into the melted white chocolate. Holding the top/ greens will keep your fingers out of the chocolate and give a clean finish
After dipping carefully place each strawberry on the tray with enough space that they will not touch.
Let the chocolate set up while you move on to melting the white chocolate. Melt the white chocolate and pour into a small freezer bag. Cut the tip off of the freezer bag and place in the piping tip. Pour your white chocolate into the bag.
Pipe two lines one on the top and one on the bottom on each strawberry.
Adding a line down the middle of the strawberry and add four line across that line.
Let set up full then cover or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Best when enjoyed the same day.
