    How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries Kid Friendly recipe on Mini Chef Mondays 

      How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries
    There’s nothing better than a chocolate covered strawberry, especially when it’s made with love from your little one! Our daughter loves to be in the kitchen and I’ve been waiting for the days we can enjoy cooking in the kitchen without worrying about ingredients due to her FPIES. I’m so happy that she has outgrown her FPIES triggers and we have been having so much fun in the kitchen.

    For awhile now I’ve wanted to start a fun series with my daughter, but really want to get more than just my daughter involved, I want all kids in the kitchen! I grew up helping out in the kitchen and by the age of 7 I was making dinner all by myself! This blog started off as a baking blog and it took on the form of lifestyle/mom blog. I’m excited to get back to the fun in the kitchen, with my little love! I asked a few of my fellow bloggers about starting a mini cooking series with our kids and I had such a great response that we started Mini Chef Mondays! Each Monday we will be sharing delicious recipes made by our mini chefs! 🙂

    How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries recipe
    Our sweet girl LOVES strawberries so much that she could eat a container in just one day. We were making the best chocolate cake recipe I have on my blog along with some vegan chocolate ganache. What better way to top them than strawberries? We can’t wait to share how to make chocolate covered strawberries with you and we even took a little video!

    They’re so easy to make and it makes a great recipe to ease your child into the cooking process!

    a few ways to melt the chocolate:

    • small sauce pan with a little bit of water, larger glass or stainless steel bowl. boil the water in the pan and dump chocolate into the pan. mix chocolate and once the water is boiling turn it off or keep on low. once the chocolate is fully melted pour into a bowl for dipping.
    • candy melting pot
    • tempering chocolate – this is a little bit more complex and would be best for the older kids. my daughter wants the chocolate, and she wants it now. 😉

    how to prep your strawberries:

    It’s important that the strawberries are dry. Wash your strawberries in a large bowl with a little bit of fruit and veggie spray. Drain and rinse your strawberries. Place strawberries onto a cookie sheet lined with paper towel or a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry before dipping. If your strawberries are wet you risk the chocolate seizing up or even worse, the chocolate not staying on the strawberries.

    We prefer to use a quality chocolate, like guittard chocolate.

    I just melt the chocolate and then place into a bowl so my mini chef can get to show you how to make chocolate covered strawberries! This was her very first time making chocolate covered strawberries and she did incredibly well. Aside from the chocolate on her sleeve, there was no mess. 😀
