Servings: 12 bunnies
Calories: 56kcal
Equipment
- 1 offset spatula or knife, for drizzling chocolate
- 2 microwave-safe bowls,
- 2 small silicone spatulas, or spoons or knives to stir chocolate
- wax or parchment paper
Ingredients
For the white chocolate strawberries:
- 12 strawberries, rinsed and completely dried
- 10 oz Ghiradelli white chocolate melting wafers
- toppings, finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles, etc.
For bunny decorations:
- 2-3 pieces Ghiradelli milk or dark chocolate melting wafers
- pink or red food coloring, oil-based is best, but see steps if you have regular food coloring
Instructions
- Line baking tray with wax or parchment paper.
- Insert toothpicks in the top of each strawberry and line up the strawberries on your tray. The toothpicks will be your handles for dipping.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add 10 oz Ghiradelli white chocolate melting wafers. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- For regular white chocolate-covered strawberries: Fully dip strawberry in melted chocolate. Gently scrape excess chocolate off the bottom on the rim the bowl, then set on lined tray. While chocolate is still wet, add any sprinkles, finely chopped nuts, etc. Otherwise, let white chocolate fully dry. Then, drizzle on extra chocolate using an offset spatula or knife. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, which should take about 5 minutes.Tip: reheat chocolate in 15-second intervals as needed.
- For bunny white chocolate-covered strawberries: Dip halfway into melted white chocolate. Gently scrape excess chocolate off the bottom on the rim of the bowl, then set on lined tray. Use a toothpick to draw on bunny ears. In another microwave-safe bowl, melt 2-3 pieces Ghiradelli milk or dark chocolate melting wafers and use this to draw on the eyes + mouths. Lastly, dye any remaining white chocolate with pink/red food coloring and use this for the inner ears and blush. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, which should take about 5 minutes.Tip: reheat chocolate in 15-second intervals as needed.Note: If using oil-based food coloring, the chocolate will not seize. If using regular food coloring, the chocolate may seize and thicken. You can reverse this by stirring in ½-1 tsp of neutral oil (canola, vegetable) until it smooths out.
- Remove toothpick skewers and enjoy!
