Ingredients
Scale
- 24 extra-large strawberries, ripe

- 4 to 8 oz dark chocolate melts
- 4 to 8 oz milk chocolate melts
- 4 oz white chocolate melts
- 1 to 2 tsp shortening (if needed)
- Optional: Sprinkles and finely diced nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries by washing them in a mix of cold water and baking soda, rinsing well and drying completely.
- Choose your melting method: using a double boiler or microwave to melt chocolate until smooth.
- Dip each strawberry into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt white chocolate for drizzling and create patterns over dipped strawberries using a fork.
- Add any desired sprinkles or nuts before chocolate sets.

Notes
Make these up to a day in advance and store in a single layer in the fridge. Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid chocolate seizing.
