Tips and Tricks for Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bunnies

• Use Room-Temperature Strawberries
  Cold strawberries can cause the chocolate to seize or develop condensation, making it harder for the chocolate to stick.
• Pat Strawberries Completely Dry
  Any moisture on the strawberries will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.
• Thin Out Thick Chocolate
  If your chocolate is too thick, add a small amount of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to achieve a smooth consistency.
• Use Skewers or Toothpicks for Dipping
  This makes it easier to coat the strawberries evenly and prevents messy fingers.
• Tap Off Excess Chocolate
  After dipping, gently tap the skewer or toothpick against the bowl to remove excess chocolate and avoid thick drips.
• Chill Bunny Faces for Easy Removal
  Freezing the chocolate in the molds for at least 5 minutes makes it easier to unmold without breaking.
• Cut Molds into Smaller Sections
  Cutting a 6-pack mold into 1 or 2 connected pieces reduces stress on the chocolate, helping prevent cracks.
• Use Melted Chocolate as ‘Glue’
  To attach the bunny face to the strawberry, apply a small amount of melted chocolate and hold for a few seconds before letting it set.
• Be Patient with Detailing
  Let the bunny faces fully set before piping the facial features to prevent smudging.
• Piping Bag Alternative
  If you don’t have a piping bag, use a small ziplock bag with a tiny corner snipped off for precise piping.
• Make Ahead & Store Properly
  These treats can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Avoid humid environments to prevent chocolate from softening.
