Patriotic Chocolate Covered Strawberries FAQs
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Make them the day before and store in the fridge in a sealed container. Best served within 24 hours for peak freshness.
Q: What white chocolate do you recommend for clean eating?
Look for white chocolate sweetened with coconut sugar or monk fruit, and free of artificial additives or hydrogenated oils.
Q: What if my strawberries are too wet?
Pat them completely dry with a paper towel—moisture is the #1 reason chocolate won’t stick!
Use room-temperature strawberries to prevent condensation during dipping.
Avoid overheating white chocolate—low and slow is best to avoid clumps.
Want a vegan version? Use dairy-free white chocolate.
