Gather Materials

Before you begin it is important to have all your decorations together and ready for use. Once the chocolate (or candy coating) is melted they come together pretty quickly. For this project, I got my materials from Michaels.

I used

  • 1 pound of Fresh Strawberries (cleaned and dried completely)
  • 8 oz White Candy Coating (can sub white chocolate if desired)
  • Sprinkles
  • Milk Chocolate Chips (for drizzle)

Time to Dip

Using a double boiler or the microwave heat your candy coating (or chocolate) as instructed on the packaging. Remove from heat and begin dipping your strawberries. Press the strawberries into the chocolate carefully rolling from side to side to cover as much of the berry as possible. Once covered lift up and swirl to finish. This is the fun part, once dipped begin decorating. Place dipped strawberries on a lined cookie sheet for easy transport to the fridge. 

Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes or until chocolate is set then remove from the fridge and place in an airtight container and keep at room temperature. Strawberries left in the fridge with get mushy faster.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use room temperate berries for the best results.
  • After washing your berries make sure to pat them dry completely. Any water on the berries will break the candy coating (or chocolate).
  • Use the leaves as a handle for dipping. If you prefer no leaves remove them and skewer the strawberry for dipping.
  • For chocolate drizzle melt chocolate in a ziplock baggie. Cut a small hole at the corner of the bag and use to pipe chocolate on to the strawberry.
  • If you choose chocolate over candy coating add butter for a smoother consistency. Melt together 2 teaspoons of butter for 8 ounces of chocolate.
