Ingredients

Scale

1 pound fresh strawberries, medium to large
8 ounces high-quality chocolate melting wafers or chopped chocolate bars
1 tablespoon refined coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
1 cup assorted pastel sprinkles, nonpareils, or sanding sugars
2 ounces contrasting chocolate for drizzling (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Rinse strawberries and pat completely dry with paper towels. Leave green tops on. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place chocolate (and optional coconut oil) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and fluid.
Hold a strawberry by its leaves and dip into melted chocolate, coating about three-quarters of the way up. Let excess drip off.
Immediately roll or sprinkle the wet chocolate portion into the bowl of sprinkles. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining berries.
For optional drizzle, melt contrasting chocolate, place in a small bag, snip a corner, and drizzle over set berries.
Let strawberries set at room temperature until firm, about 20-30 minutes. For faster setting, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. Serve same day.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing. Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor. Sprinkles must be applied while chocolate is still wet. Store leftovers in a single layer in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
