I had some leftover strawberries in the fridge and in an attempt to use them up quickly and deliciously, I decided to try my hand at chocolate covered strawberries! They’re relatively simple to make and can be fun to decorate (if you choose to go that route)- I can’t wait to make them again for a party and get a little more creative!

Ingredients:
Fresh strawberries
Semi sweet chocolate chips (about 1/2 cup)
White chocolate chips (about 1/2 cup)
Vegetable or canola oil (about 2 teaspoons)

Directions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Wash strawberries and pat dry (I tried not to wash the leaves so that they wouldn’t dry awkwardly). Pour chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in separate microwave safe bowls. Heat each one in intervals of 30 seconds, stirring in between, and careful not to overcook (I think I overcooked the white chocolate so I couldn’t use it- it got chunky rather than silky- I also think this is because I tried to heat both sets of chocolate chips at the same time). Once the chocolate is melted, add a little bit of oil to each. This gives the chocolate a bit of a shine. Dip strawberries into desired chocolate and lay on the parchment lined baking sheet.* Refrigerate for about a half hour before serving for best results.

*Note: You can then top with sprinkles, sugar, drizzle with dark chocolate (or white chocolate or milk chocolate!), add crushed nuts, etc. I didn’t do any of this because I prefer my chocolate covered strawberries plain 🙂

I hope you all have a happy Friday! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

Enjoy!
