Equipment

4 small microwave-proof bowls

Materials

1 lb. strawberries rinsed and dried
⅓ cup light purple chocolate melts
⅓ cup light blue chocolate melts
⅓ cup yellow chocolate melts
⅓ cup light pink chocolate melts
optional - pastel sprinkles

Instructions

melt one color of the chocolate
*place chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute, stir unti smooth. Microwave an additional 30 seconds, if necessary
place enough wax paper onto the countertop to hold strawberries
dip 1/4 of the dried strawberries into this color of melted chocolate
I like to dip the strawberry about half way or 3/4 of the way up keeping some of the red exposed
lift the covered strawberry up and let the excess chocolate drip off
place the strawberries carefully onto wax paper and let dry
If you are using sprinkles, this is when you can add them while the chocolate on the strawberry is still melted
repeat with other colors of chocolate

Notes

Nutrition facts are only an estimate

Colors:

Any light pastel color will do for making these strawberries. Options might include, light green, orange, light yellow, and light pink

Can I color white chocolate chips?

Yes, but it is best to use an oil-based food coloring. It is possible to use gel food coloring, but it will need to be added while the chocolate is still warm and it does run the risk of seizing the chocolate
