My favorite easy chocolate strawberries (no thermometer!)

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: milk chocolate

Stevia reduces sugar content, while milk chocolate is often less expensive.

white chocolate

🥗Healthier: yogurt coating

💰Cheaper: vanilla chocolate

Yogurt coating provides a healthier option, while vanilla chocolate can be more affordable.

Wash strawberries in cold water three times.

Soak strawberries in a cold water bath with a splash of vinegar.

Dry the strawberries with a paper towel and let them air dry completely.

Prepare a flat tray lined with non-stick paper.

Insert toothpicks into the ends of the strawberries for dipping.

Chop the chocolate into small pieces if using bar chocolate.

Use 6 ounces of real chocolate and 2 ounces of compound chocolate for a total of 8 ounces.

Melt the chocolate in a BPA-free microwave-safe container, heating for 20 seconds at a time and stirring in between.

Stop heating when about 90% of the chocolate is melted, then stir until fully melted (about 1-2 minutes).

Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, covering as much of the strawberry as desired.

Place dipped strawberries on the prepared tray.

Sprinkle with decorations like sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.

Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
