🧰 Equipment Needed
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Small bowl (optional, for decorating)
🛒 Ingredients
Only a few ingredients are needed for maximum beauty and flavor.
- Fresh strawberries, washed and completely dried
- Pink chocolate melting wafers or pink candy melts
- White chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and dry them completely with paper towels. Any moisture will prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.
Step 3: Place the pink chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 4: Microwave the chocolate in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 5: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted pink chocolate, swirling gently to coat evenly.
Step 6: Lift the strawberry and allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Step 7: Place the coated strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8: If desired, melt white chocolate and drizzle it over the pink chocolate-coated strawberries using a spoon.
Step 9: Add sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet, if using.
Step 10: Let the strawberries set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
