Ingredients
- 12 fresh strawberries
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Optional decorations: sprinkles, edible glitter, or candy eyes
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Combine the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Hold a strawberry by the green stem and dip it into the melted dark chocolate, coating it about two-thirds of the way up.
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in another microwave-safe bowl using the same method.
- Scoop the white chocolate into a piping bag or a plastic bag and drizzle over the dark chocolate-covered strawberries.
- Add optional decorations before the white chocolate sets.
- Return the decorated strawberries to the refrigerator for another 5-10 minutes to set the white chocolate completely.
Notes
Use room temperature strawberries and avoid moisture to ensure chocolate adheres well. Make ahead for parties and enjoy fresh.
