🔪 How to Make Christmas Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Making this recipe is a very straightforward affair. It only takes a little melting, a little dipping, and then a little waiting. That’s it!
Step 1: Prep
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Then, wash and dry the strawberries.
Step 2: Make the White Chocolate Strawberries
Melt the white chocolate along with 1 tsp of coconut oil to prevent seizing. Then, dip half the strawberries in the chocolate and then roll in a shallow dish of sprinkles. Place them on the parchment paper to harden.
Step 3: Make the Chocolate Strawberry Reindeer
Melt the chocolate chips with 1 tsp of coconut oil. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate and place them on the parchment paper. While the chocolate is setting, place 6 chocolate sprinkles at the top of the strawberries to look like antlers.
Step 4: Add the Eyes
Before the chocolate is totally set, add googly eye sprinkles under the antlers.
Step 5: Make the Nose
Once the chocolate is set, add a large dot of cookie icing to the tip of the strawberry reindeer. Then, dip the “nose” in red sprinkles to coat.
Step 6: Chill
Chill the strawberries until ready to serve. Bring them out 30 minutes before serving, then enjoy.
