Strawberry Footballs

Fun and festive chocolate-covered strawberries that are perfect for your football tailgate 

How cute are these Strawberry Footballs?!

Chocolate-covered strawberries with a touch of white chocolate to make the "laces" on the football

Plus, it's an easy way to get people to eat fruit on game day. Score! {touchdown pun intended}

Make sure to use a deep bowl or mug to melt the chocolate. This makes it easier to cover the entire strawberry, especially when you are getting to the end of the chocolate.

Also, using coconut oil helps keep the chocolate smooth but it's not necessary; you can still make them without coconut oil.

Make sure not to overcook the chocolate chips because they harden and get crusty if you microwave them too long.

Oh and they are delicious with the Strawberry Daiquiris 🙂

Ingredients

• ▢ 32 ounces fresh strawberries washed & dried
• ▢ 1 ½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
• ▢ 2 ¼ teaspoon coconut oil divided {optional}
• ▢ ¼ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

• Make sure strawberries are completely dry, so blot with extra paper towels if necessary {the chocolate won't stick to a wet strawberry}.
• Put the semi sweet chocolate chips and oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds on 50% power. Stir until smooth. If needed, microwave in 15 second increments on 50% power until melted.
• Dip strawberries in melted semi sweet chocolate. Sit on a wax paper lined plate to set.
• Repeat with remaining strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Put the white chocolate chips and ¼ teaspoon coconut oil in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave on 50% for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Microwave in 15 second increments on 50% power, if needed, until melted. Transfer to a small zip-top bag. Cut a tiny piece of the corner off the bag.
• Take the strawberries out of the refrigerator and draw laces on the strawberries using the white chocolate in a zip-top bag. Refrigerate until hardened.
• Best served soon after taking them out of the refrigerator. Enjoy!
