Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 4 ounces red candy melts
- 4 ounces blue candy melts
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries and dry them thoroughly with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If desired, add coconut oil for a smoother consistency.
- Dip the Strawberries: Dip each strawberry into the melted white chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Decorate: Melt the red and blue candy melts separately, also in 30-second intervals. Use a piping bag or a fork to drizzle the red and blue melts over the white chocolate-covered strawberries, creating stripes or stars as you prefer.
- Chill: Place the decorated strawberries in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, until the chocolate sets. Serve chilled and enjoy your festive treat!
