Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup blue sanding sugar
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry to avoid chocolate from seizing.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prepare a drying station.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the blue sanding sugar into a shallow bowl or plate to make coating easier.
Step 5
Hold a strawberry by the green stem or leaves and dip it into the melted white chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the berry.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Place the dipped strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
Step 8
Once all strawberries are dipped and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
