Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Wash the strawberries and dry them thoroughly.
Allow them to sit on paper towels until completely dry.
Moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.

Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and melted.

Hold each strawberry by the stem.
Dip into the melted white chocolate, coating about three-quarters of the berry.
Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Step 4: Decorate
Immediately sprinkle with patriotic sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
For extra sparkle, sprinkle blue decorating sugar over part of the chocolate coating.
Step 5: Chill
Place the strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
Step 6: Serve
Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.
