Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 8 ounces chocolate (dark, milk, or white), chopped
- Sprinkles or nuts for decoration (optional)
- 1 pound of assorted candies (chocolates, gummies, etc.)
- Small gift boxes or berry containers
- Tissue paper or decorative filler
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle with nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Once all strawberries are dipped, refrigerate them until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
- While the strawberries are chilling, prepare the gift boxes: line each box with tissue paper or decorative filler.
- Once the chocolate has set, carefully arrange the strawberries in the gift boxes alongside the assorted candies.
- Seal the boxes with a ribbon or twine and add a personalized card for a special touch.
Notes
- Choose ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Feel free to customize the gift boxes with your mom’s favorite candies.
- Store any leftover chocolate-covered strawberries in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
