Chocolate covered raspberries are a romantic and delicious treat packed with fresh berry flavor and a rich chocolate coating. Add a drizzle of white chocolate and it’s almost too pretty to eat.
Chocolate covered raspberries are a great thing to make because stores often sell them for way more than it would cost to make your own. Every Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day you may notice more fresh fruit and chocolate displayed in stores, and this is because it’s always a huge hit (and the stores know it!)
Making Chocolate Covered Raspberries
Making these berries is actually very easy. It doesn’t require much work and you can make an entire tray’s worth of them for a fraction of retail cost especially if the fruit is in season and on sale! Just make sure that you dry the berries very well after washing them or else the chocolate won’t stick!
Can I Use Other Berries?
Yes, you can use strawberries or any number of other fruits including bananas or peach slices and apple slices. The methods are the same for each fruit, but it may be a little more tricky trying to dip them in the chocolate.
Can I Freeze Chocolate Covered Raspberries?
Yes. You can freeze your chocolate covered berries! Just store them in the freezer in an airtight container after the chocolate has set and grab them whenever you want a quick treat. Or place them on a baking sheet after dipping and freeze for about 10 minutes to help the chocolate set faster.
Chocolate Covered Raspberries Ingredients
-Fresh Raspberries
-Dark Dipping Chocolate
-White Chocolate
How to Make Chocolate Covered Raspberries
Melt dark chocolate slowly using a double broiler or in the microwave. If you use the microwave to melt your chocolate, just remember to go slowly (20-30 seconds at a time) and stir gently. Once chocolate is melted, transfer it to a small, fairly deep dish.
Using a fork, spear one raspberry on the tines on one side, then another raspberry on the other side, finishing with one raspberry in the middle.
Dip raspberries in the chocolate. Flip the fork over to cover the other side of the berries.
Gently push the berries off the fork and onto a piece of parchment all at once, keeping the berries in a group. Let solidify & harden.
While you’re dipping berries, have the bottle of white chocolate drizzle melting.
Drizzle chocolate covered berries with white chocolate. Allow to cool and harden prior to serving. Berries are best served within a few hours of dipping.
Enjoy!

- Using a fork, spear the raspberries onto the tines, you can fit about 3 per fork. Left, right and middle
- Dip the raspberries back into the chocolate. Flip the fork over and get the other side.
- Gently remove the berries off of the fork and onto a piece of parchment paper all at once, keeping the berries grouped together. Let them cool and harden.
- Melt your white chocolate in the same manner as the dark chocolate and place it in a piping bag or bottle. (Let it cool slightly if it's too hot!)
- Drizzle the white chocolate over the top of the dark chocolate covered berries.
- Allow them to completely cool and harden before serving. The berries are best served within a few hours of dipping
