Ingredients
There are so many great things about making these little lovelies. First of all, they are quick, if you watch the video you can see that we ran through the entire process in seven minutes or so. It was less than 60 seconds to heat the chocolate in the microwave.
The second thing is there are only 2 ingredients
- The Chocolate
- The Strawberries
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 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?
Instructions
- Pour a 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of chocolate discs (found in any craft store) into a paper bowl.
- Lay a large piece of parchment paper or wax paper on the counter.
- 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.
- Dip your strawberries and let them cool and harden. This does not take long at all!
Enjoy!
