I wouldn’t recommend soaking the strawberries overnight because they’ll end up soggy. Let them marinate in the alcohol for a minimum of 2 hours, not more than 4, plus the holes help them soak up the liquid faster. Only make the holes on their top side, so the alcohol doesn’t just go through, you want the strawberries to absorb the flavors.

Important! Make sure you use a bowl that has a larger circumference than the pot you’re using, you want the bowl to sit comfortably over the pot, without it falling in. You’ll be working with boiling water and don’t want to burn yourself, use an oven mitten or small towel to hold the bowl while you’re mixing the chocolate. Also, mix slowly but often, so the chocolate doesn’t scorch. If the chocolate is too thick, add more oil by the tablespoon and mix until you get the desired consistency. I prefer this method versus placing the chocolate in the microwave, I always end up scorching it, and this way helps keep the chocolate warm while you dip all the strawberries.

For the toppings I reserved the sea salt specifically for the margarita strawberries, get it? Just like a strawberry margarita with salt on the rim!! The other toppings are just chopped chocolate candies and pecans that I had in the pantry. I added a small dash of sea salt to the caramel boozy berries because I personally love the combination of dark chocolate with sea salt. Use what you have, the trick to making the strawberries look pretty is to add contrasting colors that way they really pop! And as far as placement of the toppings, the best way I can describe it is to throw them at the strawberries!
