Double Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Pin It


Rich, decedent, sweet, and better than chocolate covered strawberries are just a few words that have been used to describe this amazing dessert.  I know what you're thinking, "How can they be better than chocolate covered strawberries?  Those are chocolate covered strawberries."  These treats have a special surprise hidden inside: fudge brownies.  These stuffed and dipped strawberries take some time to make, but they are well worth the effort.

Ingredients:


  • 2 cartons of strawberries (make sure that there are some pretty good sized ones in the carton)
  • 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 box of fudge brownie mix
Steps:

Make the brownies according to the directions on the box.

Allow the brownies to cool.

Once cool, use a fork to crumble the brownies.



I crumbled all of the brownies except for the outer edge that was a little bit crispy.

After crumbling the brownies, I transferred the crumbles to a bowl.

  

Wash the strawberries.

Use a paring knife to cut the tip off of each strawberry.


Use your pinky to hollow out each strawberry.


Carefully stuff the brownie crumbles into each hollowed out strawberry.



Use some of the brownie crumbles and mold them into a tip for each strawberry.


Place the stuffed strawberries on a plate, and allow to cool in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

While the strawberries are chilling out in the fridge, create a double boiler using a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water.


Pour the chocolate chips into the bowl, and stir occasionally until they melt.


Line a plate (or cookie sheet) with wax paper.

Remove the chilled strawberries from the fridge.  Dip each strawberry in the melted chocolate by dipping one side in, and then rotating to coat each side until the entire strawberry is covered.

Place the chocolate covered strawberry onto the wax paper.

When all the strawberries are dipped, put them into the refrigerator, and chill for at least an hour or until the chocolate has completely hardened.

Serve these delectable bites chilled.






























Perfect for that special get together, or date night!

  2. Tina, thanks and we appreciate the feedback! Yes, they aren't as hard as people might think, if you just told them that you made chocolate covered strawberries stuffed with brownies and didn't show them step by step pictures! Exactly, these would be perfect for entertaining.. it would be the talk of the party! Also, another thing I might point out all those treats you see on the plate in the 1st pic can be done for under 7 bucks and there were 3 strawberries that we didn't use. Wow, so inexpensive!
    Best Foodie Wishes,

  6. This is such a good idea. Not only because you have a chocolate covered brownie stuffed strawberry but you might get some left over brownie and that is no bad thing!

  7. Thank you for the follow Kelly!

    Gnetch-- Definitely give this a try, and come back and tell me how it went!

    And you will for sure have left over brownies. Only a pretty small amount of brownies fit into each strawberry.
