Instructions

Prepare Chocolate: Pour half of the white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Wash and Dry Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then dry completely with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
First Chocolate Dip: Dip each strawberry about two-thirds of the way into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Set on Wax Paper: Place the dipped strawberries onto wax paper to allow the first chocolate layer to set and harden slightly.
Heat Remaining Chocolate: Melt the remaining half of the chocolate chips by microwaving again at 50% power, stirring until smooth.
Second Chocolate Dip and Sprinkle: Once the first coat has begun to harden, re-dip the lower one-third of the strawberry into the melted chocolate and immediately sprinkle the blue sugar sprinkles over this area for the “blue” accent.
Refrigerate to Set: Place the decorated strawberries back onto the wax paper and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to allow the chocolate to harden completely and achieve the optimal texture.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing.
Use wax paper to prevent sticking and to easily remove strawberries after setting.
Microwaving chocolate at 50% power and stirring frequently helps prevent overheating and burning.
Store finished strawberries in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
For a more vivid blue color, use colored sanding sugar or edible glitter instead of regular sprinkles.
