Ingredients
12ozbag of white chocolate candy melts*
2lbsstrawberries32 oz
Sprinklesoptional
Other colored candy meltsoptional- for drizzle
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and dry completely the strawberries, removing any that aren’t good. Water isn’t good for any type of chocolate so make sure to dry all of it off.
2 lbs strawberries
In a microwave safe dish melt your chocolate candy melts. Make sure to turn your microwave to 50% power, microwave for 30 secs, stir and repeat until melted. This will take around 1-2 minutes.
12 oz bag of white chocolate candy melts*
Dip your strawberries in the melted white chocolate. It helps to hold the strawberry by the green leaves, dip and swirl. Let any excess white chocolate drip off and you can even scrape the bottom side (the side that will be sitting on the parchment paper) on the edge of the bowl.
Place strawberries on prepared baking sheet and allow to set up. If you are putting sprinkles on you can sprinkle them on now- before the white chocolate hardens.
Sprinkles
If you want to drizzle with chocolate or colored candy melts, allow the dipped strawberries to set up, melt your candy melts in the same way you melted the white chocolate candy melts. Then place the melted candy melts in a piping bag or a zip loc bag and cut the tip off to make a small hole. Then drizzle the strawberries.

Tips and Tricks
*I used Wilton candy melts- regular white, but bright white can be used too.
If you want to use white chocolate chips you have to temper the chocolate so it will set up hard after melting.
Turning the power on the microwave to 50% will help prevent the candy melts from seizing/burning.
Additional toppings like crushed Oreos, crushed M&Ms, chopped peanuts, and toasted coconut are all tasty toppings too.
