Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the strawberries
  • 1 pound Fresh strawberries Use firm, ripe ones for the best flavor
For the chocolate coating
  • 8 ounces Dark chocolate Can substitute with milk chocolate if preferred
  • 4 ounces White chocolate Optional, great for decorative drizzle
For decoration (optional)
  • 1 cup Sprinkles For a fun finishing touch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Ensure they’re completely dry to help the chocolate adhere better.
  2. Melt the dark or milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth and shiny.
Dipping
  1. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, covering it up to the leaves. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  2. Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. If using white chocolate, melt it and drizzle over the dipped strawberries for a decorative touch.
Finishing
  1. Add sprinkles if desired for extra flair.
  2. Refrigerate the strawberries until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.

Notes

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be kept for up to 3 days. Avoid stacking to prevent smudging.
