Welcome back to another yummy recipe as part of 4th Annual #SummerDessert Week hosted by Angie from Big Bear’s Wife. We’re celebrating Summer Desserts. (Be sure to check out all the delicious recipes at the end of this post. )

I will be posting 3 recipes for this event: Monday: Mini Cherry Muffins
Wednesday (today): Frozen Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bites and Friday: Berry Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches.

One of my favorite little summertime sweet treats is chocolate covered Frozen Strawberries.

Trader Joe’s has a great version.  You just plop ‘em in your mouth, and it’s cold, chocolatey-fruity goodness.

Much like the Chocolate Frozen Banana. mmmmm

With just 3 basic ingredients, I just had to try and make my own.

And it’s sooo easy. Perfect for parties, BBQ’s and especially hot summer afternoons!

Add some festive sprinkles to make a regular afternoon a little extra special.

What kind of Strawberries to use

When I was developing this recipe, I wasn’t sure which form of strawberry to use: Frozen, freeze-dried, or fresh.

If you’ve read any of my other Strawberry Dessert recipes, you’ll know I love using Freeze dried strawberries. They plump when you cook them and are always in season, so I definitely wanted to try them out.

I made different batches with each kind of strawberry.

The frozen strawberries were DEFINITELY THE BEST! Soo refreshing on a hot summer afternoon!

The freeze-dried strawberries and the fresh strawberries were good too, but the frozen strawberries were definitely much better.

How to Make Frozen Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bites

Special Tools: Candy mold or Ice Cube trays

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1 ½ tablespoons 2 % milk
• About 1 cup of strawberries—depending on your freezer mold (you can slice and freeze your own or use frozen strawberries if they’ll fit in your mold).
• Fun Sprinkles (Jimmies work better than the glittery sanding sugar kind. The sanding sugar ones get lost in the chocolate.)

The basic ratio of chocolate to milk is 1 cup : 1 tablespoon. So, adjust it as necessary based on the size of your mold.

Steps

1) Prep the strawberries.

Slice them so they fit into your molds nicely then freeze for 30 minutes. If you have a deeper mold, then skip this step and use frozen strawberries.

2) Melt the chocolate and milk.
You can use a double boiler or just microwave it. Start at 30 seconds, mix, and then do another 30 seconds and mix, repeating the process until your chocolate is melted.

3) Take your mold and sprinkle in your jimmies (traditional sprinkles)

(When you pop the chocolate strawberries out, these sprinkles will be on the top.)

4) Next place your strawberries in the mold.

5) Finally, take a table spoon and spoon the melted chocolate over each strawberry filling all of the individual mold spaces.

6) Option: you can also so one last sprinkle of jimmies.

7) Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

8) Remove from freezer and Enjoy!

Your Kids will love them!!!!!
