Red, White and Blue Strawberries for 4th of July
Are you looking for a fun and festive treat that’s easy to make and perfect for your Fourth of July celebration? These red, white and blue strawberries are as fun and delicious.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (washed and thoroughly dried)
- 2 bars Ghirardelli ( substitute with 10 oz bag melting wafers
- ⅓ cup patriotic nonpareils or sprinkles (substitute blue sanding sugar)
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries and gently pat them completely dry with paper towels. Moisture will prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Hold each strawberry by the green stem or insert a toothpick into the top. Dip it about two-thirds of the way into the melted white chocolate.
- Immediately dip the bottom third of the chocolate-covered strawberry into the nonpareils to create a red, white, and blue look.
- Place finished strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them sit at room temperature until the chocolate is set, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to speed up the process.
Notes
- Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping any water can cause the chocolate to seize and prevent the chocolate from sticking.
- These are best served the same day, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Try mixing it up with blue sugar crystals, star sprinkles, or even edible glitter for extra sparkle.
