Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh strawberries, washed and completely dried

• 2 tbsp Honey House Clover Honey

• Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles, flaky sea salt

Equipment

• Medium microwave-safe bowl or double boiler

• Baking sheet

• Parchment paper

• Spoon or fork for dipping

Pro Tips

1. Dry Strawberries Completely: Even a little moisture can cause the chocolate to seize, so make sure strawberries are fully dry before dipping.

2. Low, Gentle Heat: Melt chocolate slowly to keep it smooth and glossy.

3. Honey First: Stir the honey in after the chocolate is melted for the best texture and shine.

4. Work Quickly: Chocolate sets fast once strawberries are dipped, so have toppings ready.

5. Room Temperature Set: Let strawberries set at room temperature for the best finish and snap.

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler over low heat.

3. Stir in the Honey House Clover Honey until fully incorporated and glossy.

4. Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip into the chocolate, swirling to coat evenly.

5. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place strawberries onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. Add toppings immediately if using.

7. Let strawberries set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm. Serve and enjoy.

Storage Tips

• Store chocolate covered strawberries in a single layer in an airtight container

• Refrigerate for up to 48 hours

• Best enjoyed the same day for optimal texture and flavor

• Bring to room temperature for 10 minutes before serving

Recipe Notes

The combination of rich chocolate and fresh strawberries is classic for a reason, but adding honey takes it to the next level. Honey House Clover Honey has a light, floral sweetness that softens the chocolate’s bitterness and creates a smoother, more balanced finish.

Because Honey House honey is 100% pure, raw, and American-sourced, it blends seamlessly into melted chocolate without overpowering it. The result is a glossy coating and a naturally sweet flavor that tastes elevated but never heavy.

Perfect Pairings

These chocolate covered strawberries pair beautifully with:

• A glass of chilled champagne or prosecco

• Fresh whipped cream or vanilla yogurt

• Espresso or a honey-sweetened latte

• A simple cheese board with brie or mascarpone

• Dark chocolate truffles or honey-roasted nuts
