Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- Assorted pastel food coloring
- Sprinkles, edible glitter, or decorative sugars (optional)
Instructions
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping, as moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth.
- Divide the melted chocolate into separate bowls and add a few drops of pastel food coloring to each, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Holding a strawberry by the stem, dip it into the colored chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing it on parchment paper.
- If using sprinkles or edible decorations, add them immediately while the chocolate is still wet.
- Allow the strawberries to set at room temperature or chill them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Chocolate Tips: Use oil-based food coloring to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- Decoration Ideas: Drizzle with contrasting chocolate or add shredded coconut for a fun texture.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with cookies, cupcakes, or arrange them in an edible bouquet for a stunning presentation.
