Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
Chocolate Coating
- 8 ounces purple chocolate melting wafers
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly to ensure no water remains, which could interfere with the chocolate adhering.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the purple chocolate melting wafers and coconut oil. Heat in short intervals, stirring often, until melted and smooth.
- Dip Strawberries: Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, covering it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place on Sheet: Arrange the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Set Chocolate: Let the chocolate-covered strawberries sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or refrigerate them for faster setting before serving.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid chocolate seizing.
- Use parchment or wax paper-lined surfaces to prevent sticking.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle crushed nuts or edible glitter on the chocolate before it sets.
- Store finished strawberries in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for best freshness.
