Ingredients

  • 24 large strawberries, rinsed and thoroughly dried
  • 12 oz (340 g) baking chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
  • Optional toppings: sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, toffee bits, crushed candy canes, crushed cookies or pretzels, finely chopped nuts, white chocolate or salted caramel drizzle

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Make sure strawberries are completely dry.
  2. Melt the chocolate:
    • Stovetop: Use a double boiler setup. Stir chocolate until almost melted, then remove from heat and stir until smooth.
    • Microwave: Heat chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  3. Hold each strawberry by the leaves or a toothpick and dip into the melted chocolate, turning to coat.
  4. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place strawberry on prepared baking sheet.
  5. Immediately add toppings (if using) while chocolate is still wet.
  6. Let the strawberries sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing.
  • Use good-quality baking chocolate for best flavor and texture.
  • Let chocolate set at room temperature rather than chilling to avoid condensation.
  • Decorate with contrasting chocolate drizzle for an elegant finish.
  • Best enjoyed the same day for ideal texture and appearance.
