Ingredients
- ½ cup white chocolate melting wafers ($1.00)
- 1-3 drops gel-based red food coloring ($0.06)
- 10 whole fresh strawberries, washed and completely dried ($1.27)
Instructions
- Melt chocolate. Add the white chocolate melting wafers to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Color chocolate. Stir in the red food coloring, one drop at a time, until the desired color is reached and evenly incorporated.
- Dip strawberries. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Lift and allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Set. Place the coated strawberries onto a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Repeat until all strawberries are dipped. Let set until firm before serving.
Notes
- Food coloring. Gel-based coloring is recommended to prevent chocolate from seizing and to achieve vibrant color.
- Chocolate options. Almond bark or high-quality white chocolate chips may be used if melting wafers are unavailable.
- Berry prep. Strawberries must be completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Storage. Store chocolate-covered strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid freezing.
