Ingredients
  

Main Components
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries large, with stems
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or white candy melts
  • 1 tsp coconut oil optional, for smoothing chocolate
  • 0.5 cup blue sanding sugar or blue sprinkles

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Paper Towels

Method
 

  1. Rinse strawberries gently and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Let them sit for 15 minutes to air dry to ensure chocolate adheres.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour blue sanding sugar into a small bowl.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate (and coconut oil if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  4. Holding a strawberry by the stem, dip it into the white chocolate about 2/3 of the way up, leaving the top red part visible.
  5. Shake off excess chocolate, then immediately dip the bottom 1/3 of the berry into the blue sugar.
  6. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining berries.
  7. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate coating is set and firm. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure berries are at room temperature before dipping to prevent the chocolate from cracking.
