How To: Imitation Gertrude Hawk Chocolate Covered Strawberries & Happy Easter!

One of my favorite things to do is make Chocolate Covered Strawberries. Believe it or not, I actually don't like them, but I do love to make them! My fiance loves the Gertrude Hawk Chocolate Covered Strawberries, but they're just so expensive. $2.00 for one is just a little over priced for me. I use to buy them for him, but then I came up with a better idea, "Why don't I make them on my own?"

So, what I do now, is buy 5 of the Gertrude Hawk Milk Chocolate .99 bars and melt the chocolate and make them on my own... I decided to do a little tutorial since it's fitting because tomorrow is Easter. :)


What you'll need:

5 or more, depending on how many chocolate covered strawberries you wanted to make, of Gertrude Hawk Milk Chocolate .99 bars.

Strawberries

Pot to boil water in

Some thing to place over the boiling water, I have a bowl for it, but if you don't you can always use any kind of glass bowl, or even use a cookie sheet and place the cookie sheet over the boiling water, and place a bowl on top of it, this is used to melt the chocolate

A cookie sheet with Wax Paper to place your chocolate covered strawberries

I kind of provided a step by step instruction on how to do this. So follow along. :)



I promise this bowl isn't dirty, it's water spots. lol


To put the chocolate in to.


Wax paper and a cookie sheet.


Make sure you clean your strawberries!


So, boil some water... any amount of water.


Boil on High.


Break up your Gertrude Hawk Chocolate bars.


As they're melting in your pot, make sure to keep mixing, no one likes burnt chocolate. :)


Melted chocolate!


Dip your DRY strawberries into the chocolate using a circle/swirly motion.


And there you have it.




You can even drizzle white chocolate on them, like Gertrude Hawk does, just repeat the previous steps, in this case I didn't because I didn't purchase any white chocolate.




Refrigerate for an hour or more, or until the chocolate is hard. So there you have it, your imitation Gertrude Hawk Chocolate Covered Strawberries. Put them in a cute little basket and hand out as gifts to your family and friends. :)

I hope the Easter Bunny is good to everyone! ♥
