How to make chocolate covered raspberries:
- Start by covering a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat and setting aside. Wash the raspberries and gently pat them dry with a paper towel, being careful to not damage or break them.
- Place the white chocolate in a medium, microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 30 seconds increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Use a toothpick to poke the bottom of the raspberry (the closed small end) and dip the raspberry in the melted white chocolate. Do your best to fill the whole of the raspberry with chocolate.
- Place the dipped chocolate on the prepared baking sheet on its side and repeat with all fo the raspberries. When they're done, place the baking sheet in the freezer.
- While they're chilling, melt the dark chocolate the same way you did with the white chocolate. When the raspberries and white chocolate are frozen and set, repeat the process with the dark chocolate and place back in the freezer. Freeze until set and serve frozen.
How long can you keep raspberries in the freezer?

Chocolate dipped fruit FAQs
What is the best chocolate for dipping?
The best chocolate for dipping is a high quality chocolate (with a large percentage of cocoa butter). If you can find a high quality chocolate bar that's best. However, chocolate chips work too. You might need to add a bit of coconut oil to the chips to help them melt easier.
How do you thin chcoolate for dipping?
If your chocolate is too thick, you can add a teaspoon or so of coconut oil to help thin it out.
Can you use chocolate chips for dipping?
Yes, you can use chocolate chips! However, chocolate chips were created to keep their shape and withstand the heat, so you may need a little help from the coconut oil. If you're using chips, be careful not to overheat the chocolate and don't forget to heat in increments. Have some coconut oil on stand by if you need it!
