Ingredients
- Fresh Strawberries (12 large)
- Dark Chocolate Chips (1 cup)
- White Chocolate Chips (1/2 cup)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries gently under cold water, then pat them dry completely. Any moisture can prevent the chocolate from adhering.
- Melt Dark Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the berry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Cool the Chocolate: Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to set.
- Melt White Chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using the same method as before. Transfer it to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off.
- Decorate: Drizzle melted white chocolate over the set dark chocolate and add your sprinkles while it’s still wet. Be creative with your designs.
- Final Chill: Once decorated, place the strawberries back in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to ensure everything is set properly.
Notes
Use quality chocolate for better taste and ensure strawberries are completely dry.
