Is it better to make chocolate covered strawberries the night before?

Chocolate Covered Strawberries are best served fresh, the same day they are made and stored in a cool place – not in the refrigerator. If stored longer than a day, the berries gradually release moisture so they will gradually get mushy.

What can I put my chocolate covered strawberries in?

To minimize sweating, place a couple sheets of paper towels into the bottom of an airtight container. Store the strawberries on top of the paper towels. If you need to store multiple layers of strawberries, place pieces of wax paper or parchment paper between the layers.

Is chocolate covered strawberries considered romantic?

In fact, chocolate-covered strawberries were originally paired together because they're two of the world's most famous aphrodisiacs. Today chocolate-covered strawberries are a common Valentine's Day treat, and are often found on buffet tables at weddings.
