Ingredients
For the Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (firm, with green leaves intact)
- 1 cup white chocolate melting discs
- ½ cup each of pink, yellow, teal, and orange chocolate melting discs
- Assorted Easter sprinkles
Instructions
1. Melt the Chocolate
- Place each color of chocolate in separate microwave-safe bowls.
- Melt in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
2. Prepare the Strawberries
- Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly—any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking.
3. Dip and Decorate
- Dip each strawberry into the white chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let some strawberries dry before drizzling with colored chocolate for a decorative effect.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with Easter-themed decorations.
4. Set and Serve
- Allow the chocolate to fully harden at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy as a festive Easter treat or a beautiful addition to your dessert spread!
