Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup blue sanding sugar
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry to avoid chocolate from seizing.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prepare a drying station.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Pour the blue sanding sugar into a shallow bowl or plate to make coating easier.
Hold a strawberry by the green stem or leaves and dip it into the melted white chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the berry.
Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then immediately dip the bottom third of the strawberry into the blue sanding sugar to create a "patriotic" stripe effect.
Place the dipped strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
Once all strawberries are dipped and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
