4th of July Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries Recipe

What you need:

• 1 pint of fresh strawberries
• 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Red, white, and blue sprinkles

What to do:

Make sure your strawberries thoroughly washed and completely dry before proceeding.

Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling it around to coat it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the chocolate-covered strawberry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining strawberries.

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the strawberries with the red, white, and blue sprinkles to add a festive touch. You can also leave some strawberries without sprinkles for variety.

Once all the strawberries are coated and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate sets. After the chocolate has hardened, remove the strawberries from the refrigerator and transfer them to a serving plate or platter.

And that’s it! Your delicious chocolate-dipped strawberries with sprinkles are now ready to serve! Arrange them nicely and enjoy this sweet treat with your friends and family for a festive 4th of July celebration. 

For extra oomph, try using white chocolate on some of your strawberries!
