Description

These Christmas Lights Chocolate Covered Strawberries are a festive and delicious treat perfect for holiday celebrations. Fresh strawberries are dipped in rich milk and white chocolate, then decorated with green chocolate drizzles and colorful mini M&Ms to mimic Christmas light strands, creating a fun and visually appealing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Fruit

  • 12 fresh strawberries

Chocolate Coatings

  • 1 cup milk chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers
  • ½ cup green chocolate melting wafers

Decorations

  • ¼ cup mini red and green M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent the chocolate-covered strawberries from sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolates: In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the milk chocolate and white chocolate wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolates are smooth and glossy.
  3. Dip Strawberries: Dip half of the strawberries into the white chocolate and the other half into the milk chocolate, coating each strawberry evenly up to the stem for a neat finish.
  4. Set Chocolate: Place the dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet and allow them to harden at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  5. Melt Green Chocolate: Melt the green chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second bursts, stirring until fully smooth.
  6. Decorate: Drizzle the melted green chocolate over the strawberries to resemble strands of Christmas lights. Immediately press the mini red and green M&Ms onto the green chocolate lines to represent glowing bulbs.
  7. Final Setting: Let the decorated strawberries set again for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate is completely hardened and ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure chocolates are fully melted and smooth before dipping for an even coating.
  • Work quickly when drizzling green chocolate and adding M&Ms so the drizzle doesn’t harden too soon.
  • Store the strawberries in a cool place; refrigeration can cause condensation on the chocolate.
