Ingredients
Scale
- 20 medium-sized fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ cup crushed nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pistachios) – optional
- Sprinkles or edible glitter – optional
- 20 wooden skewers
- 1 block floral foam
- Decorative wrapping paper or cellophane
- Ribbon or twine
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries gently and pat them dry completely. Remove leaves if preferred.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with butter using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Dip each strawberry by holding the stem or skewer into the melted chocolate, swirl to coat evenly, and place on wax paper to set.
- While chocolate is wet, sprinkle crushed nuts or edible glitter on some strawberries for decoration. Allow some to cool plain.
- Melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle thin lines over the dipped strawberries using a spoon or piping bag.
- Once chocolate is slightly set but not hardened, insert one wooden skewer into the top of each strawberry carefully.
- Place the floral foam block inside your container and arrange the skewered strawberries by pushing them into the foam, varying heights and angles for a natural look. Fill gaps with tissue paper or faux greenery if desired.
- Wrap the bouquet in decorative cellophane or paper and tie with ribbon or twine to secure.
Notes
Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing. Use butter in chocolate to achieve a glossy finish. Insert skewers when chocolate is semi-set to avoid cracking. Store bouquet in fridge and bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
