Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Makes 16 strawberries

Ingredients

  • 16 large strawberries with stems
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 4 ounces white chocolate chopped, for drizzle
  • 2 tablespoons pink and red sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and rinse the strawberries under cool water, then pat each one completely dry with a paper towel, leaving no visible moisture.
  • Let the strawberries sit at room temperature for 15 minutes so no condensation forms once they are near the warm chocolate.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth, then remove from the heat and let it cool for 2 minutes.
  • Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the chocolate, twisting gently to coat about three quarters of the berry, leaving the top red.
  • Let the excess chocolate drip off for a few seconds, then set the strawberry stem side up on the lined baking sheet.
  • Melt the white chocolate the same way and drizzle it across the dipped strawberries with a spoon, then scatter sprinkles over the wet drizzle immediately.
  • Let the strawberries set at room temperature for 20 minutes, or until the chocolate feels firm and dry to a light touch.

Good to Know

Dip no more than a few hours before guests arrive; these do not hold overnight the way the other sweets on this table do.
