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. Microwave for 1-2 minutes on 50% power, stirring every 60 seconds until melted.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating almost to the stem. Let excess chocolate drizzle off before placing it back onto the parchment.
- If using sprinkles or other decorations, add them before the chocolate hardens.
- To add contrasting chocolate drizzle, melt the contrasting chocolate and transfer to a squeeze bottle. Drizzle over the desired berries.
- Serve berries immediately after the chocolate hardens or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Note – if using Nonpareils to decorate, there is a chance that they will sweat when refrigerated and the colors will bleed. For best results, serve shortly after preparation.
