Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries (large, firm, and ripe)
- White chocolate melts or bars (high-quality, for coating)
- Milk or dark chocolate melts (for drizzling)
- Red heart sprinkles or heart-shaped royal icing transfers
- Mini white marshmallows (for garnish if placing in a gift box)
- Parchment paper
- Toothpicks or dipping tool
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. They must be completely dry for the chocolate to stick properly.
- Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, or use a double boiler.
- Optional: Melt milk or dark chocolate for drizzling.
- Holding each strawberry by the stem or using a dipping fork, dip into the melted white chocolate until coated. Place on a parchment-lined tray to set.
- Before the chocolate hardens, immediately add red heart sprinkles or icing decorations.
- For striped ones: Once white chocolate is set, drizzle melted milk or dark chocolate in fine lines using a piping bag or fork.
- For the reverse version, dip strawberries in milk chocolate and drizzle with melted white chocolate.
- Let them set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.
- Present in mini cupcake liners or over a bed of mini marshmallows for gifting.
Notes
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid chocolate seizing.
- Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
- Customize decorations with different sprinkles, edible glitter, or colored chocolate.
- These are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
