    Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients for chocolate dipped strawberries.
    • Fresh Juicy Strawberries- choose larger strawberries to have lots of room for decorating. Be sure to wash strawberries and dry them thoroughly with paper towel before you dip strawberries.
    • Belgian White Chocolate - I love Belgian Chocolate, feel free to use white, blue and orange candy melts if you prefer.
    • Candy Color - be sure to use an oil-based candy color for the best color coverage.
    • Assorted Sprinkles - different sprinkles help to bring the Easter Bunny to life, they form his eyes, and nose, and decorate his ears.
    • Mini Marshmallows - mini cut marshmallows create the bunny's ears.
    • Black edible food marker- perfect to draw little details like the bunny's mouth.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you get chocolate to stick to strawberries?

    After you have washed and thoroughly dried your strawberries insert a toothpick into the top of a strawberry and dip it in warm chocolate and allow it to set on a parchment lined baking sheet. Allow strawberries to set at room temperature.

    How many days ahead can you make chocolate covered strawberries?

    Chocolate covered strawberries are best the day they are made. If absolutely necessary they can be made 2 days ahead and stored at room temperature covered loosely in wax paper or foil. They can also be stored in the refrigerator in a container lined with paper towels in a single layer and covered with wax paper.

    Is it better to leave chococolate covered strawberries out or in the fridge?

    Chocolate covered strawberries have better flavor if stored at room temperature. Refrigeration causes condensation and sweating which make them less appetizing. If at all possible consume them within a few hours of preparing them for the most delicious and decadent treat!

    Expert Tips

    • Wash and fully dry strawberries before attempting to decorate. Excess liquid can prevent the chocolate from setting properly.
    • Be sure to stir chocolate when in between warming in the microwave to avoid scorching and burning.
    • Candy melts can be used in place of white Belgian chocolate if you prefer. This will save time as no coloring would be required.
    • If you are tinting your chocolate use only oil-based candy coloring otherwise you may not get uneven color and/or streaking. 
    • These strawberries will set up in about 10 minutes in the freezer but keep in mind that the stems will not be a bright green anymore. This is a good option if you are running short on time.
    • These strawberries are best eaten the day they are made. If you do need to make them in advance store them in a container lined with paper towels in a single layer in the refrigerator for 2-3 days=. Do not cover them with a lid, this can lead to sweating and ruining your designs.
    • Kids will love making these strawberries, especially adding the sprinkle details!

    • parchment paper to line baking sheet
    • baking sheet or plate for setting strawberries

    Ingredients
      

    • 12 strawberries washed and throughly dried
    • 8 ounces Belgian white Chocolate tinted white for Easter bunny strawberries
    • 8 ounces Belgian white chocolate tinted orange for carrot strawberries
    • 8 ounces Belgian white chocolate tinted blue for Easter egg strawberries

    Instructions
     

    Easter Bunny Strawberry

    • Melt 8 ounces of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 20-second increments, stirring in between until melted and smooth. Add a few drops of white candy color for a bright white if you wish.
    • Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper
    • Insert a toothpick into the top of a strawberry and dip into the white chocolate allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl.
    • Place the strawberry on the prepared baking sheet .While the chocolate is still wet, carefully add a heart-shaped sprinkle for the nose.
    • Next, add 2 round black sprinkles for the eyes ( for a fun detail use a toothpick dipped in a small amount of white chocolate, add a little white sparkle to each eye).
    • Add two small pink pearl sprinkles to form cheeks. allow to fully set or place in the refrigerator to set quickly.
    • Once set, draw the mouth with an edible black food marker,  using light pressure to avoid creating a hole in the chocolate.
    • Using a pair of kitchen shears or a sharp knife make a slit in the middle of a mini marshmallow being careful not to cut all the way through.
    • Pull open the marshmallow to create an ear. Press the sticky side down into a small dish of nonpareils. Repeat with another marshmallow for the second ear.
    • Using melted chocolate and a toothpick, attach the ears to the top of the bunny's head. Allow to fully set (popping it back in the fridge for 10 minutes will set it faster than air drying).

    • Insert a toothpick in the strawberry and dip it into the blue chocolate allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Transfer it to the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
    • Garnish with sprinkles of your choice in a line pattern or any pattern you wish!Allow to fully set.

    Carrot Strawberry

    • Add about a tablespoon of the melted orange chocolate to either a piping bag or a zip lock bag with the corner cut out. Drizzle some lines on the carrot for texture.Allow to fully set.
