Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 16 ounces milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries with leaves
  • 8 ounces white chocolate chips, optional *
  • Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, candy sprinkles, mini chocolate chips or candies, crushed graham crackers, crushed cookies

Instruction

  • Cover a large baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
  • Microwave chocolate chips at 30-second increments for about 1 minute and 45 seconds, stirring until chocolate starts to melt. Add the shortening, stir until smooth, and dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture, holding by the stems.
  • Roll strawberries in toppings, or place strawberries onto the wax paper lined baking sheet. Set in the refrigerator to harden, at least 20 minutes and up to 1 day. Allow chocolate coating to harden before creating designs with white chocolate, if desired.
  • * Tip: To create designs with white chocolate on top of strawberries, melt white chocolate in 30-second increments until beginning to melt. Add 1 teaspoon shortening and stir until smooth (if you want, you can also add food coloring at this point). Pour chocolate into a piping bag or squeeze bottle with small tip; design as desired. Refrigerate to set.
  • Enjoy!
