Description
Is there anything more delightful than the festive spirit of the 4th of July? The crackle of fireworks, the smell of grilled burgers, and the joyful laughter of loved ones gathered under the summer sky. It’s during these cherished moments that a simple yet show-stopping dessert like 4th of July Strawberries becomes the star of the table.
Ingredients
- 24 fresh strawberries, thoroughly washed and dried.
- 8 oz white candy melts or white chocolate melting wafers.
- 1/2 cup red, white, and blue nonpareil sprinkles.
- Optional: Colored chocolate drizzle.
- Optional: Alternative toppings like crushed candies or colored sugar.
Instructions
- Wash and dry your strawberries completely. Any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize and not stick.
- Melt the white chocolate or candy melts. Use the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth, or melt gently over a double boiler.
- Dip the strawberries about 2/3 into the chocolate.
- Immediately dip the bottom 1/3 into the sprinkles to create that festive, layered red, white, and blue look.
- Place on wax or parchment paper and let them set. If it’s a humid day, pop them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Once hardened, serve these eye-catching delights and enjoy!
