Chocolate Dipped Easter Strawberries (Printable Version)

Fresh strawberries coated in chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles, perfect for festive occasions.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 20 large fresh strawberries, rinsed and thoroughly dried with leaves intact

→ Chocolate

02 - 7 oz good-quality dark or milk chocolate, chopped
03 - 3.5 oz white chocolate, chopped (optional, for drizzling or decoration)

→ Decorations

04 - 4 tablespoons assorted colorful sprinkles (Easter-themed, if available)

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure strawberries are completely dry, as any moisture will prevent chocolate from adhering properly.
02 - Place chopped dark or milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt gently using a double boiler method over simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each burst, until fully melted.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the leaves and dip into melted chocolate, swirling to coat almost to the top. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
04 - Arrange dipped strawberries on the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
05 - While chocolate is still wet, immediately sprinkle with colorful sprinkles for optimal adhesion.
06 - If using white chocolate, melt using the same method as primary chocolate. Use a small spoon or piping bag to drizzle decoratively over the chocolate-dipped strawberries.
07 - Allow chocolate to set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm to the touch.
08 - Serve immediately or store in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
