Start with just a little and add more until you reach your desired shade. ๐จ Itโs time to get artsy! Gently dip each strawberry into the colored chocolate, letting the excess drip off. ๐
Step 3: Final Steps/Assembly
Carefully place your pastel-dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them in the fridge to set. ๐ง While theyโre chilling, you can do a little happy dance โ youโre almost there! ๐ Once the chocolate has hardened, youโre ready to serve these beauties to your adoring fans. ๐

How to Know Itโs Done (No Guessing)

Look for
- Smooth, glossy chocolate coating
- Firm, set texture when you gently touch the strawberries
- Vibrant, even color on the dipped portion

- Too thick and hard to dip โ Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out.
Optional temp note (only if it makes sense): Not needed here โ visual cues are enough.
