Ingredients
10ounceswhite melting wafers
1poundfresh strawberries
1-2drops red food coloringoptional
Equipment
20 Wooden skewers
Foam block, or
Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Piping bag (optional)
Instructions
Set up wooden skewers and a foam block to hold the strawberries while they dry. Alternatively, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the strawberries and let them dry completely.
Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. If not fully melted, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, holding it by the leaves. Swirl until completely coated, and then gently shake off excess chocolate.
Insert a skewer into the bottom of each strawberry and place the other end into a foam block to dry, about 10 minutes. Alternatively, place the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
If using, mix 1-2 drops of food coloring into the remaining white chocolate.
Drizzle pink chocolate over the hardened chocolate-covered strawberries using a fork, or a piping bag if available.
