Recipe Notes
- Nutritional information is calculated for two chocolate-dipped strawberries per serving.
- Don't leave the finished strawberries in the fridge too long or they will get condensation on the outside.
- A simple way to wash strawberries is to put them into a colander and run cold water over them. Dry them with paper towels.
- You could use any type of chocolate chip you like, from semisweet, to dark to milk chocolate to white chocolate.
Here's how to make it:
- Melt dark or milk chocolate chips in a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring very frequently in order not to burn it.
- Put the strawberries on the tips of skewers and dip them in chocolate one by one.
- Add sprinkles.
- Put in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes so chocolate can set. Don't leave them there for longer than that, or chocolate will "sweat."
