If you’re looking for a super quick and easy festive treat for a red, white, and blue celebration, look no further. These patriotic strawberries are simply dipped in a little white chocolate and then some blue sanding sugar for an easy red, white, and blue bite!
Ingredient Notes
- White Chocolate – You can use Baker’s white chocolate, white chocolate chips, or almond bark. If using real white chocolate, you’ll need to add a little vegetable oil or shortening to make dipping easier. More on that below in the instructions. I suggest almond bark or candy melts for the easiest dipping.
- Strawberries – Make sure your berries are dry or the chocolate won’t stick. Wash them well ahead of time, pat dry, and then let them air dry for a bit before dipping!
- Sprinkles – Any kind of sprinkles will work here, but sanding sugar is the easiest. If you’re using a larger style sprinkle, instead of dipping, I suggest sprinkling a little on the wet chocolate.
How To Make Patriotic Strawberries
- Melt some white chocolate (either baking chocolate, or chocolate chips works fine) or almond bark. If you’re using white chocolate, add 1/2 tsp vegetable oil or shortening to every 1/2 cup diced chocolate or chips to make dipping easier.
- Make sure your berries are dry and give them a dunk.
- Dip the wet chocolate in blue sanding sugar so the bottom tip is blue.
- Immediately place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in fridge to set up. They don’t even have to look perfect to be cute!
