Salted Caramel Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipes

CHOCOLATE SALTED CARAMEL STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Using a double boiler, slowly melt chocolate over medium-low heat:
• You can also melt the chocolate in a microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate!
• Using completely dried strawberries, dip each strawberry, one by one, into the melted chocolate:
• Coat the strawberries, but do not completely immerse the berries in the chocolate. Lay each chocolate coated berry onto the prepared pan after dipping.
• In a medium saucepan combine caramel and heavy cream and melt over low heat, stirring constantly.
• Once melted, using a fork dip into the caramel sauce and drizzle in a zig zag pattern over the chocolate covered strawberries.
• Do not completely coat the strawberries in caramel, just a drizzle will do. You don't want to lose any teeth on these babies.
• Sprinkle salt over the caramel covered strawberries.
• Chill strawberries until ready to serve. Remove them from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to serving for caramel to soften a little.

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Washer strawberries and place on a rack or some paper towels to dry. It is very important that they are dry.
• 2. Take your 12 ounces of chocolate and 2 tablespoons of shortening and place in a small pot. Then take another pot of boiling water to put underneath I usually pick a pot that is smaller than the one I put the chocolate in. Once the water starts boiling I put the pot with the chocolate on top and I start stirring until I get a really nice smooth consistency.
• 3. Then I usually take a wooden skewer and I start dipping my strawberries being as careful as I can to pull back to green tops. After I dip them I let the excess drip and I place them on a sheet pan that's got parchment paper already on top of it
• 4. Once have done that I let them sit for a few minutes and then I take my Caramell syrup and start drizzling diagonally back-and-forth on an angle.
• 5. Sprinkle a little bit of kosher salt on top afterwards and Voila! I let them sit on the porch and paper until the chocolate is set.
• 6. I think it's easier to handle the strawberries when I played them on a very pretty - lightly sprayed with cooking spray. I lay them down points out and tops towards the center and I take the last few and pile them in the middle.
