Ingredients
– 1 pound fresh strawberries (washed and dried)
– 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (or your choice of chocolate)
– 4 ounces white chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
– Assorted toppings (sprinkles, crushed nuts, shredded coconut, etc.)
Instructions
Creating Easter Chocolate Covered Strawberries is as easy as following these simple steps:
1. Prepare Strawberries: Make sure the strawberries are completely dry after washing. Any water can cause the chocolate to seize.
2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
3. Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
4. Place on Tray: Arrange the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Chill: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
6. Melt White Chocolate: If using white chocolate for drizzling, melt it in a similar fashion as the semi-sweet chocolate.
7. Drizzle White Chocolate: Once the strawberries are set, use a fork or piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chocolate-covered strawberries.
8. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the strawberries before the chocolate sets.
9. Chill Again: Return the strawberries to the refrigerator for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the drizzle to set.
10. Serve: Once set, your chocolate-covered strawberries are ready to be enjoyed!
