Description
Delicious strawberries dipped in chocolate and decorated with festive Christmas sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb strawberries – gently washed and dried
- ¼ cup Christmas sprinkles
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil – (optional) for a softer chocolate shell
- 8 oz dark chocolate – chocolate bar, chips, or wafers
- 2 oz white chocolate – for the drizzle
Instructions
- Gently wash and dry the strawberries well. This allows the chocolate to better adhere to the strawberries.
- Chop the dark chocolate into little pieces and add it to a microwave-safe bowl along with the vegetable oil (if using). Microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring after each time until the chocolate is runny and smooth. Heating times vary by microwave, it took me 2 rounds.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate while rotating it fully. Lightly scrape the underside to remove excess chocolate and lay it on parchment or wax paper to set.
- Chop the white chocolate into little pieces and add it to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time until it’s runny and smooth, stirring after each time.
- Drizzle the white chocolate on one strawberry at a time and immediately decorate it with Christmas sprinkles before it sets. This ensures the sprinkles stick to the white chocolate before it sets. Continue for the rest of the strawberries.
- Serve after 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden or store until ready to serve.
Notes
- If using vegetable oil, it helps achieve a softer chocolate shell.
- Store in a cool place to prevent melting.
