Where to buy chocolate-covered strawberries?

Love strawberries? Love chocolates? Then what can be better than chocolate-covered strawberry! This elegant-looking chocolate is super popular as a gift. It can be your partner or your parents. Strawberries covered in chocolate are an appropriate gift for all occasions.

This article covers all the aspects of chocolate-covered strawberries. From where to buy it to how to choose the best one, we got you.

What to look for before buying chocolate-covered strawberries?

Expiry date: Usually chocolate has a long expiration date. But strawberry has high water content, which makes them a good home for bacteria. So you should seek freshly made chocolate-covered strawberries.

Smell: Strawberries tend to ripen very quickly. Especially in warm humid weather. If an odor is coming from your strawberry box, I would recommend not buying them. This fruity and mushy odor indicates the strawberries are over ripen.

These tips will come in handy when the box is opaque so you cannot see the strawberries inside them.

Not the frozen one: Yes, I am saying not to buy the frozen one. Frozen strawberries become thawed. And the chocolate becomes so hard you cannot bite it. 

I am suggesting not to buy the frozen one because it looks perfect from the outside.

But when you keep the box at normal room temperature, the strawberry lets out its water (sweating). This makes the outer part, the chocolate layer come off.

Please don’t get confused between the frozen and the refrigerated strawberry. Refrigerated strawberries will not cause this hazard.

Toppings: Some brands use nuts and coconut crumbles on top of the chocolate. Be extra careful about allergy issues.

Strawberry with dark chocolate covering is the healthiest one in my opinion.

Color: As the whole strawberry is covered in chocolate, you won’t see the color of it. But here is a trick. Look at the topmost part of the strawberry, near the stem. If it is green instead of red, this means the strawberry isn’t fully ripened.

What aisle is chocolate-covered strawberry in?

Chocolate-covered strawberry is available in the candy aisle of any grocery store. I found it beside the chocolate covered snacks.

You will also find it in the bakery aisle of some grocery stores. The berry with chocolate will be in the sweet goods and snack aisle.

Some stores carry chocolate dipped strawberry in their frozen food section. But as I said before, don’t buy the frozen one.

There is a possibility you will find chocolate-covered strawberries in the produce aisle.
