Edible glitter berries

Chocolate-dipped strawberries are a lovely, simple, and delicious dessert. Make them extra festive by using white chocolate and green coloured sugar for a special Christmas treat.

Ingredients

  • 250g fresh strawberries

    punnet, washed, patted dry

  • 250g white chocolate melts

    pkt

  • 1 cup coloured sugar

    (220g)

Equipment

  • 1 large tray
  • 1 baking paper
  • 1 large heat proof bowl
  • 1 smaller bowl
  • 1 microwave

Instructions

  1. Set out a large tray lined with baking paper. Place the chocolate chips into a large heat proof bowl and the sugar or sprinkles into a smaller bowl for dipping.
  2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts on a medium setting, stirring well between each one. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, stop microwaving chocolate when there are still some pieces not quite melted and stir well.
  3. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling it around to make sure it is three-quarters covered in chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  4. Dip the chocolate-coated strawberry into the coloured sugar or sprinkles, coating the end of each berry well.
  5. Place the dipped strawberries on the tray and refrigerate until set, approximately 15 minutes.

Notes

Variation
If you haven't got time to make or buy coloured sugar, cheat by using green sprinkles instead.
