Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 12 large fresh strawberries and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels, leaving the green stems intact.
  2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt 6 oz dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Step 3: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted dark chocolate, swirling to coat about two-thirds of the berry. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place on the parchment-lined sheet.
  4. Step 4: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle 2 tbsp red sanding sugar over the dipped strawberries to add a festive sparkle.
  5. Step 5: Melt 2 oz white chocolate chips similarly, then transfer to a small piping bag or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner cut off. Drizzle a thin zigzag of white chocolate over the dipped strawberries for contrast.
  6. Step 6: Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens and the heart shapes become firm to the touch.
