Brighten the kitchen table with these beautiful and easy to make Chocolate Covered Strawberries. These chocolate covered strawberries are dipped in spring colors and decorated with fun spring colored stripes. They say Hello Spring! Come on in and I’ll share the “how to” on this fun and Colorful Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe.
Don’t they just make you smile?
They’re not too fancy, which I love. I made the stripes a little more whimsical to give them a fun flare.
I almost named them Graffiti Chocolate Covered Strawberries. That’s what they kind of remind me of.
They are so much fun. I love the bright colors. You could almost leave them plain like the photo on top. I like that too.
But, the fun stripes give them that added touch of love.
Of course, you could always stick to one contrasting color. I love this look, as well.

- *Place the melts in the microwave for 1 minute and stir while it’s still warm until smooth
- Dip one group of your strawberries into the first color – tilting it all different ways until all of the strawberry surface (except for the very top) is covered in chocolate
- Lift up and hang over the bowl allowing excess chocolate to drip
- Transfer to a sheet of wax paper to dry
- Melt the second color of chocolate and do the same with the next group of strawberries
- Continue until all 4 colors are melted and all 4 groups of strawberries are dipped
- Decorating…
- Now…
- You can start with the last chocolate you used because the chocolate is probably still smooth
- *If it’s not – just pop the chocolate into the microwave for about 15-30 seconds and stir again until smooth
- Dip a fork into the melted bowl of chocolate and going in a back and forth motion over the strawberries with a contrasting color – let the chocolate drizzle over the coated strawberries
- *Keep dipping into chocolate to get more and swinging the fork back and forth over the strawberries
- Continue to reheat the other colors of chocolates and using forks to spread that color over the strawberries
- *So –
- the purple strawberry should have, yellow, blue and pink stripes
- blue will have purple, yellow and pink
- pink will have purple, yellow and blue
- yellow will have purple, blue and pink
- That’s it!
Notes
You don’t have to make 3 dozen. If you want less, then just pour out less chocolate into your bowls. You can use leftover chocolate for some other project.
Happy Spring and Summer – Finally!
