A simple recipe for chocolate covered raspberries. They are not only the perfect raspberry dessert for Valentine’s Day but they also make a great healthy snack.
Rinse raspberries under cold running water and place them tip-side-up onto a plate lined with a few sheets of paper kitchen towel. Set them aside.
Melt chocolate (see note 4) and set aside for later.
Take each raspberry and get rid of any excess water.
For fully covered raspberries, dip each raspberry in chocolate, place it onto a tray/flat baking sheet (that you can fit in the fridge) lined with baking parchment and place a few heart-shaped sprinkles on top. Two forks work great for dipping and transferring them onto the tray.
For half-dipped raspberries, hold a raspberry with your fingers and dip half of it in chocolate (any side you like), place on a tray and top it with some sprinkles. Repeat with the rest.
Chill them in the fridge until hard (20-30 minutes should be plenty).
Enjoy!
Notes
Use only fresh raspberries that are hard. They will hold their shape better and also should last longer. The quantity may vary. This will depend on whether you dipped them fully or just tip them in the chocolate.
The sprinkles are optional. You can use other sprinkles instead or omit them completely.
The quantity will vary, depending on their size and also thickness of your melted chocolate. When your melted chocolate is thick, you will more likely need more of it or you will get less raspberries covered in chocolate. You should get at least 24 fully covered raspberries and about 40 when only dipping half of the berries.
I always use a double boiler to melt chocolate as it gives me the best results and there is no chance of burning it. If you have good experience with melting chocolate in the microwave, go ahead and use it.
