Ingredients:
Strawberries (a tub of them)
3/4 Bag of chocolate chips (white or brown chocolate)
1/4 Bag of chocolate chips (opposite color as the one above)
OR instead of the second kind of chocolate, you can do sprinkles
Directions:
*Cut all the stems out of your strawberries
*In a microwave safe bowl, place your 3/4 bag of chocolate chips.
*Microwave for 20 seconds. Stir well.
*Microwave for another 20 seconds. Stir well again. Repeat this about 3-4 times until the chocolate is well melted. Make sure to stir often because chocolate that is not stirred often will burn really easy when in the microwave.
*Once it is all melted, set onto the table or counter where you will be making your strawberries.
*Line a baking sheet with parchment (or waxed) paper.
*Dip a strawberry into the chocolate about 3/4 of the way up the strawberry. Lay it onto the baking sheet. I often do a quick flip of the strawberry so the bit of chocolate that drips gets put underneath the berry.
*Coat all of your berries, then do this next step.
*In a microwave safe coffee cup, put a ziplock bag. Now put your second color of chocolate chips into the bag.
*Microwave for 20 seconds, stir, 20 more seconds, stir, etc... If you are doing white chocolate for this second step, it often takes white chocolate a bit longer to melt than semi-sweet chocolate does. Not quite sure why...
*Once the chips are melted, seal the baggie.
*Cut a small tip off the baggie with scissors.
*Start drizzling your chocolate over the berries in a fun design.
Leave on the baking sheet until dry. I don't put them in the fridge because I find once you pull them from the fridge the chocolate starts to unmelt a bit... It takes about 2-3 hours for them to fully dry. They are so good too! I often put what is leftover from baggie of melted chocolate into the tops of the strawberries where the hull was. Hull? Um, strawberry green stemy thing... Yum!
