Boozy Chocolate Covered Strawberries - Easy No-Bake Dessert

But, if you wanted to make these chocolate strawberries without alcohol, you could absolutely do so. This is such a fast and easy treat, it would take less than 30 minutes.

Variations on Chocolate Covered Strawberries

You could experiment with different types of chocolate. I used dark chocolate for this recipe, but milk or white chocolate would be fun.

Alternatively, you can use some of those fancy candy melts that are pre-flavored instead of straight chocolate. I would love to try some of the flavor combinations I've seen like birthday cake, coffee and others.

As another alternative, if you're just not that into strawberries, you could make this recipe with other berries like raspberries, blackberries or blueberries. Just take care dipping them in the chocolate, because they're a lot smaller and you could end up dipping your finger tips too.

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries for This Recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries for this recipe. Just be sure to thaw them completely before dipping them in the chocolate. Otherwise, the chocolate will seize up and be difficult to work with.

Tips for Storing Boozy Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Chocolate covered strawberries should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last up to a week this way.

If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to two months, just be aware that this may make the chocolate have a pale white dusty-looking coating. This will not affect the chocolate in any way other than the look, though, so they're still good if that happens.

If you want to make these ahead of time, you could also soak the strawberries in the vodka a few days in advance, then cover them in chocolate on the day you plan to serve. Just be sure to store them in a sealed container so they don't dry out.
