Christmas Chocolate Covered Strawberries are so fun for the holiday season! Have fun decorating strawberries for Christmas with sprinkles and candy melts.
Ingredients
- fresh strawberries stems attached
- 250grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 250grams white chocolate chips
- 2 tsp vegetable oil or shortening divided
- 2 tbsp holiday sprinkles
- 120grams green candy melts or green frosting
- 120grams candy melts or red frosting
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Set aside. Wash your strawberries and dry completely on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips into two separate heat-proof bowls. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to each of the bowls and toss to combine.
- Microwave each bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolates are melted. This should take about 60-90 seconds total.
- Insert a wood skewer into the stemmed end of the strawberry. Dip each strawberry into one of the melted chocolates until completely covered. Tap off any excess chocolate.
- Place the strawberries onto the prepared baking sheet. If covering with sprinkles, add those immediately. Otherwise, let the chocolate dry.
- Add the red and green candy melts to separate heat safe bowls. Melt in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Place into pastry bags or ziploc bags with the tip cut off. Or, you can use a fork to drizzle to candy melts over the strawberries.
- Decorate as desired. Top with more sprinkles if you’d like.
- Let the strawberries set completely before serving. Keep refrigerated if not serving right away. Best served within 24 hours.
