Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Ingredients
1 large Candy bar (Hershey’s milk or dark chocolate – the BIG one)
1 package low-cost (waxy) chocolate chips
2 pints fresh strawberries
1 package mini cupcake wrappers
1 package 3″ skewers (optional – keeps fingers from getting sticky)
Rainbow sprinkles
Directions
1. Wash strawberries and let dry. This is important because melted chocolate sticks to a dry surface better, and helps the berries last longer.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, break-up candy bar, and add chocolate chips. Melt for 1 minute, then stir, repeat until all chocolate and chips are well combined.
3. Using skewers, pierce skewer into berry stem, then roll in chocolate bowl.
4. Once covered, coat strawberries with rainbow sprinkles, then place in wrapper to let cool. Repeat until done, then refrigerate.
5. Enjoy!
