Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (washed and thoroughly dried)
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 4 oz white chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure strawberries are completely dry (water will prevent chocolate from sticking).
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip into melted chocolate, twisting slightly to coat evenly. Let excess drip off.
- Place dipped strawberries on prepared baking sheet.
- If using white chocolate, melt separately and drizzle over dipped strawberries with a spoon or piping bag.
- Add toppings (nuts, sprinkles, coconut) immediately before chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until chocolate hardens. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
- Make sure strawberries are fully dry — even a little water makes chocolate seize.
- Best enjoyed within 1–2 days; store in the fridge.
