Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh strawberries (medium to large, with stems attached)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Food coloring (optional, orange or green gel)
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- Sprinkles or candy eyes (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry your strawberries thoroughly to ensure no water remains.
- In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil each. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted semi-sweet chocolate. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
- Once the base chocolate has hardened, transfer the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Pipe designs like ghosts or skeleton faces onto the strawberries.
- If using food coloring, mix it into white chocolate and create pumpkins or colorful monster designs.
- Allow the decorated strawberries to cool and harden completely before serving. You can speed this up by placing them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
[‘Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent the chocolate from seizing.’, ‘Adding a bit of coconut oil to the chocolate makes it smoother and shinier.’, ‘Practice piping designs on parchment paper before decorating the strawberries.’, ‘Chill the dipped strawberries in the fridge to set the chocolate quickly.’, ‘If making a large batch, melt the chocolate in smaller portions to keep it fresh and smooth.’]
