2. Since the strawberries I have are pretty massive, I halved a few of them and placed a half in each ice cube hole.
3. I then melted about half of a bag of dark chocolate chips on a double boiler on the stove. Since I eat an enormous amount of chocolate (!), I’ve been trying to at least purchase dark chocolate instead of regular…I figure at least I’m getting more antioxidants or something 🙂
And nope, I don’t own a REAL double boiler! I just put a small amount of water in the bottom pot, wait till it boils and then put the chocolate in the top pot. It’s the same way my Grandma and Mom do it, so I imagine I’m stuck with this technique for life!
4. Pour the chocolate over the strawberries in the ice cube tray. Be aware that it will probably take a bit more chocolate than you think!
5. Put the tray of goodness in the freezer. I left it in there for about an hour, which was pretty much as long as I could wait before wanting to eat them!
6. Remove tray from freezer and twist it so that the chocolate strawberries come out of the tray. Then EAT!
The ice cube holes break the bar into little individual squares, kind of like a real candy bar, only the pieces are much bigger. I actually have two squares left in my fridge right this second!
Well, actually, not for much longer…..

I saw that on pinterest and pinned it for a perfect party idea. So glad to see someone post that they tried it. YUM
OMG, Genius!! That’s going to get done in this apartment soon. haha
And there really is no reason to have a double boiler. The double pots work perfectly fine and they have plenty of other uses individually.
Agreed on the double boiler! To be honest, I don’t even know what a “real” one looks like!
What a freaking genius idea- I am copying this!!
I’m not a baker because it involves too much measuring for me. What I do bake, I just kind of throw together and hope it comes out!
And I am definitely a dark chocolate lover- milk just doesn’t taste “real” to me. The darker the better!
Those look really good! That is an ingenious idea.
Pretty sure my hubs would love those. I’m gonna have to make them. Plus, I love ANY recipe with less than 4 ingredients since I’m kitchen challenged. 🙂 I bet you could do that with pretzels and marshmallows too. That would be tasty!
Mmmmmm marshmallows. Although you have to freeze it to mold the chocolate, and I wonder what that would do to the marshmallows?!
the hot chocolate would probably melt the marshmallows somewhat but worth a try I think 🙂
could try dried fruit and nuts too
Yum these look so good and easy. Must try.
I’ve seen this on Pinterest too! I definitely want to try it sometime!
I don’t like to cook nor bake, but I prefer baking over cooking. My husband actually does most of the cooking in our house!
Ha, apparently I need to scour Pinterest better! I totally thought I was being creative but apparently not :)Should’ve known something so easy has been in the world forever!
Perfectly simple. Love it! I’m trying this asap!
ohh that looks great and pretty darn easy! no chocolate right now due to the vegan challenge, oye.
i am totally a sweets person!
Great idea. Love it! I am surprised they pop out of the tray without sticking.
I love super easy recipes and this looks great! I’m also a big fan of making do with what you have, as opposed to buying a bunch of fancy stuff… good job with pots!
Haha, you’ve funny. That’s not baking…but chocolate covered strawberries are delicious…and the ice cube tray thing was a pretty nifty idea!
I use the ghetto home style double broiler too……and I think I always will.
Ha, you dork, I know it’s not baking! I wanted to bake but I had like 45 min. before I had to leave so this was all I had time for!
Looks incredible! I found this on Pinterest 🙂
Do you find it difficult to bake in CO? I moved here from the midwest about 6 years ago and it was so frustrating until I found a great conversion chart (but it def. is not simple)
therefore, I prefer to cook 🙂
yet, I prefer sweets 🙂
I don’t, but I’m originally from here so I don’t really know otherwise! It is pretty standard to add a little extra flour to everything, though 🙂
This looks so good! I will have to try making these myself.
This is genius – I love this idea! I love to back 🙂
I LOVE baking! I wish I had self control so I could do it more often. Parties are a great excuse to bust out the sugar! These look amazing – genius.
Self control is a serious problem! I have an awesome snack in the fridge that I made yesterday (I’m sure you’ll see it next week!) and it’s taking MAJOR willpower not to devour it all!
This is pretty much the most delicious thing I have ever seen! I WANT ONE! I would eat that whole ice cube tray in one day though, that would be bad, very very bad!
OMG YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Um, I’m gonna have to do that TODAY!!! 🙂
um, awesome idea!
Mmmm… imagine sprinkled with sea salt, too? Dark chocolate cries out for a salty zing! Going to try these! Thanks for the idea 🙂
This is a phantastic idea! Love it because I love chocolate covered fruits and there so many possibilities!! Imagine bananas or grapes… WOW.
just copy receipe will try soon,looks very yummy,
You could put a caramel inside of the tray too, or banana slices, nuts & caramel, so many things this would work with. Thanks for idea.
[…] in point: a million years ago (or like last year), I wrote this super quick and easy post on chocolate covered strawberries made in an ice cube tray. I had made it on a whim and decided to share the post with y’all just […]
oh and thanks for the link so I could pin them 🙂
Can one use white chocolate chips for this?
I’ve never tried myself but I don’t see why not!
