- In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate chips, butter, vanilla extract, and salt over low heat until it is completely melted and smooth. Stir constantly to ensure the chocolate doesn't burn.
- Remove the strawberries from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate. Make sure to coat the strawberries evenly. Place the strawberries back on the parchment paper and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
- If desired, sprinkle the sprinkles over the top of the chocolate covered strawberries. Let the strawberries cool completely before serving.
Equipment
For this recipe, you will need the following equipment:
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Medium saucepan
- Lollipop sticks
Notes
It is important to use fresh strawberries for this recipe. If the strawberries are too ripe, they will not stay on the lollipop stick. Also, if the strawberries are too small, they might not stay on the stick when you dip them in the melted chocolate.
Be sure to melt the chocolate slowly, over low heat. If the chocolate gets too hot, it will not coat the strawberries properly. You can also add different types of chocolate if you would like. White chocolate, dark chocolate, and even peanut butter chips all make for delicious variations on this recipe.
