Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate finely chopped
  • 4 ounces milk chocolate finely chopped
  • 4 ounces white chocolate finely chopped

OPTIONAL DECORATIONS:

  • 1/4 cup candy sprinkles of choice
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

  • After washing the strawberries, make sure they are completely dry. 
  • Line a sheet pan with wax paper or parchment paper. 
  • Place the dark, milk, and white chocolate in separate bowls. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20 to 30 second intervals or use a double boiler. Don't rush the process, chocolate doesn't need a lot of heat to melt.
  • Place the bowls of melted chocolate in a larger pan and pour warm water in the pan until it comes half way up the bowls. Do not let any water get inside the chocolate. This will keep the chocolate warm and melted while you work with the strawberries. 
  • Hold the strawberries by the stem and dip them about 3/4 of the way into the chocolate. Gently shake the excess chocolate off and then place the strawberries on the wax paper. 
  • For any strawberries that you want to coat in sprinkles, roll them in the sprinkles after you dip them in the chocolate then place them on the wax paper.
  • After all the berries have been dipped in chocolate, place them in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up. 
  • Place any remaining melted chocolate in a ziplock bag and cut a small snip in the corner of the bag. 
  • Drizzle the chocolate over the coated strawberries then place them back in the fridge for another 15 minutes until set. 

Notes

For best results, use chocolate candy bars instead of chocolate chips. Chocolate chips have additives that help the chips keep their shape when they are melted so they do not melt as smoothly as a candy bar.
