Chocolate Easter Strawberries (Print Version)

Fresh strawberries coated in chocolate and decorated with colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

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

→ 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

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure strawberries are completely dry—any residual moisture will prevent chocolate adhesion.
02 - Place chopped dark or milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt using a double boiler method by placing bowl over simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between bursts, until fully melted.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the leaves and submerge into melted chocolate, swirling to coat almost to the top. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before transferring to prepared baking sheet.
04 - While chocolate remains wet, immediately coat each dipped strawberry with colorful sprinkles.
05 - Melt white chocolate using the double boiler or microwave method. Using a small spoon or piping bag, drizzle decoratively over the chocolate-coated strawberries.
06 - Allow strawberries to set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm.
07 - Serve immediately or store in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
