How do you get chocolate to stick to strawberries?
To start, rinse your strawberries in cool water, then pat them dry—leaves and all—with a towel or paper towel until they are completely dry. If they’re even a little bit damp, the chocolate will not stick as it should, and instead, will slide right off the berry.
Should strawberries be cold before dipping in chocolate?
You can serve the refrigerated chocolate strawberries chilled or let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Chilled strawberries will have a nice crunch to the chocolate, whereas room temperature strawberries will have slightly softer chocolate.

How long do chocolate covered strawberries take to set?

How do you keep chocolate covered strawberries from sweating?
To avoid sweating or leaking, it’s best to make chocolate covered strawberries the same day you plan to serve them. But the good news is, they will keep at room temperature for as long as 10 hours, without a problem. Just leave them in a cool, dry place, uncovered, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Why are chocolate covered strawberries so expensive?
The demand is high due to public perception. High demand + limited supply = high price. Additionally, warm chocolate used for dipping shortens the shelf-life of the fresh strawberry. The product has a shorter shelf-life, must be transported faster, and otherwise be more expensive to bring to the shelf in the store.
