Chocolate Covered Strawberries Chocoholics Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the strawberries and champagne. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12-36 hours. The longer the strawberries soak, the more prominent the champagne flavor will be.
• Remove the strawberries from the champagne and dry well with a paper towel. Reserve the champagne.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Fill a small saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Set a medium heatproof bowl over the pot, making sure the water is not touching the bottom, and add the white chocolate. Melt, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in the canola oil until well combined. Transfer the melted chocolate to a mug or measuring cup.
• Hold the top of each strawberry and dip into the melted white chocolate, coating almost completely. Lift out and shake off any excess chocolate, then place on the prepared baking sheet. If the chocolate is still very thin and runny, wait until it cools slightly and coats the strawberry without creating a puddle of chocolate on the pan beneath the strawberry.
• While the chocolate is still melted, decorate each strawberry with gold luster dust and gold sprinkles.
• Transfer to the refrigerator to set for 30 minutes, up to overnight.
• Just before serving, fill 12 mini culinary pipettes with the reserved champagne (or use fresh champagne, if desired). Insert a pipette into each strawberry.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Enjoy!

Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)
• Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.

• If you'd like to decorate the strawberries, melt the white and milk chocolate and drizzle lightly over the fruit.
