Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Wash and dry fresh strawberries thoroughly. Make sure they are completely dry.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring the berry is well coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Place chocolate-covered strawberries on parchment paper in a single layer. Sprinkle your favorite sprinkles generously while the chocolate is still warm, before it sets.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until the chocolate sets. Once hardened, transfer to a serving plate, and enjoy!
Notes
For perfect chocolate covered strawberries, ensure they're thoroughly dry before dipping to achieve a smooth coating. Place them in the fridge post-dipping for a quick set, and store in a single layer to prevent sticking. Store your chocolate-covered strawberries in an airtight container in the fridge for optimal freshness. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days to maintain the perfect balance of juiciness and chocolatey goodness. Don't be afraid to experiment – while this recipe suggests dark chocolate, feel free to use milk, semi-sweet, or white chocolate for your unique twist - and you can always change up the sprinkles colors or leave them off entirely!
