Notes

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries in colored sugar
 
Dip'd Strawberries in just chocolate
The third thing is, the fact that you can dip almost anything. I dipped pretzels in addition to the strawberries.  But bananas are fabulous dipped and frozen, yum! They are a great alternative to ice cream because you can just have a bite and be satisfied.
The fourth reason I like this recipe is its versatility. You can see in the picture strawberries in various colors of chocolate and drizzled color. T plating is also fun with the rainbow sugar. You can roll them in nuts edible gold sugar or leave them plain. 
Here is a serving tip: Once dry we serve them in a dish typically used for deviled eggs.

The fourth reason I like this recipe is its versatility. You can see in the last picture that Nicole made her strawberries in various colors of chocolate and she drizzled color on top to make her’s look pretty. Her plating is also fun with the rainbow sugar.  Mine sit in a dish typically used for deviled eggs. 

That last reason I like this recipe is the cleanup.  All you need to do is throw away the paper bowl and the parchment paper. Can it get any easier? 

  1. Pour a 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of chocolate discs (found in any craft store) into a paper bowl.
  2. Lay a large piece of parchment paper or wax paper on the counter. 
  3. Heat in the microwave at 20-second intervals until you are left with only a few discs not melted. Stir in between each 20-second interval.  
  4. Dip your strawberries and let them cool and harden. This does not take long at all! 

Enjoy!
