Ingredients
Fruits
- 16 Strawberries
Chocolate and Decorations
- Red Candy Melts
- White Candy Melts
- Pink Candy Melts
- Valentine Assorted Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cold water to remove any dirt, then gently dry them thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt each color of candy melts separately according to the package instructions, typically by microwaving in short intervals and stirring in between to avoid burning.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip each strawberry into the different melted chocolate colors, covering them evenly. Place the dipped strawberries onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle Valentine-themed assorted sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets. For variety, you can dip some strawberries plain and drizzle a contrasting chocolate color over them.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to dry and harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once set, your decorative Valentine’s Day chocolate strawberries are ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from sliding off.
- Melt candy melts separately to prevent color mixing and achieve vibrant designs.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy cleanup.
- For a glossy finish, temper the candy melts according to package instructions if desired.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
