Method
- Pick through the strawberries and separate out the ones with the best quality. Set aside those with bruising, blemishes, odd shapes, and wilted leaves.
- Place the desired berries in a colander and rinse well under cold water. Drain well.
- Dry the strawberries with paper towels, each individually to make sure no water remains.
- Place the dried strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Insert a toothpick into the top of each strawberry.
- Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 1-2 minutes on 50% POWER, stirring every 60 seconds until melted.
- Dip each strawberry into the chocolate, coating almost to the stem. Let the excess drizzle off and place it back onto the parchment.
- If adding sprinkles or decorations, do so before the chocolate hardens.
- Repeat until all strawberries are coated.
- For contrasting chocolate drizzle, melt the contrasting chocolate and transfer to a squeeze bottle to drizzle over the desired berries.
Notes
Note – if using Nonpareils to decorate, there is a chance that they will sweat when refrigerated and the colors will bleed. Serve immediately after chocolate hardens or refrigerate until ready to serve.
