Ingredients
- 1 oz freeze-dried strawberry slices
- 9 oz chocolate chips or chocolate bar of choice no nuts or fruit. If using chocolate chips, this is approximately 1-1/2 cups
- chopped nuts, dried fruit or sprinkles for sprinkling on top of chocolate, if desired
Instructions
- Melt chocolate chips or chocolate bar in the microwave or in a double boiler. If using the microwave, heat in bursts of 30 seconds, stirring between bursts. Do not overheat once melted. If using a double boiler, stir often and remove from heat once melted.
- Dunk strawberry pieces into the chocolate and lay them out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all strawberries are covered. Top with chopped nuts, dried fruit or sprinkles, if desired.
- Allow chocolate to harden in the fridge for one hour. Once fully solidified, move pieces to an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer for storage. They keep for several weeks, or in the freeze for up to a month.
