- Strawberries, 10 or more, rinsed and dried
- White chocolate, 140 g (or 5 ounce)
- Red powdered food coloring, just enough to achieve a pink color
- Sprinkles, for decoration
- Begin by chopping the required amount of white chocolate into smaller pieces. This helps it melt more evenly.
- Place the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it at 50% power for 30 seconds. After the first 30 seconds, stir the chocolate and return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat this process, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Add a small amount of red powdered food coloring to the melted white chocolate. Start with a little and add more as needed to achieve your desired shade of pink. Stir well until the color is consistent throughout the chocolate.
- Skewer a strawberry onto a toothpick. This will make it easier to dip the strawberry into the chocolate without making a mess. Alternatively, you can hold it by the leaves.
- Holding the toothpick (or the leaves), dip the strawberry into the pink chocolate, ensuring it is well covered. Let any excess chocolate drip off before proceeding.
- Before the chocolate sets, decorate the coated strawberry with sprinkles for an added touch of fun and color.
- Place the decorated strawberries on a sheet of parchment paper or a cooling rack to allow the chocolate to solidify.
- Repeat the dipping and decorating process with the remaining strawberries.
