Ingredients
- 24 fresh strawberries (washed and dried completely)
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts (for dipping)
- 4 oz milk or dark chocolate (for details, optional)
- Assorted pastel candy melts (pink, blue, yellow, lavender)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening (to thin the chocolate, if needed)
- Edible candy eyes
- Mini pink heart or round sprinkles (for bunny noses)
- Colored sanding sugar or sprinkles (for decorating Easter egg designs)
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat (for easy cleanup)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. Make sure your strawberries are completely dry—any moisture will prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 20-second intervals, stirring in between to ensure even melting. If the chocolate is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to create a smoother consistency.
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering about ¾ of the strawberry. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place it on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
For bunny designs, attach two edible candy eyes and a small pink sprinkle as the nose while the chocolate is still wet. Once the chocolate hardens, use a piping bag filled with melted dark or milk chocolate to draw on whiskers and a smile.
To create colorful Easter egg strawberries, melt pastel candy melts in separate bowls. Drizzle or pipe patterns such as zigzags, dots, and stripes over the dipped strawberries. While the chocolate is wet, sprinkle sanding sugar or decorative sprinkles on top for added texture.
For chick-themed strawberries, dip them in melted yellow candy melts. Before the coating dries, add two candy eyes and a small orange sprinkle for the beak. Use a piping bag with melted chocolate to draw tiny wings and feet.
Let the dipped strawberries sit at room temperature or place them in the fridge for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
Once set, your Hoppy Easter Dipped Strawberries are ready to be served! Enjoy them fresh or store them for later.
