Ingredients
  

For the kabobs

  • 1.25 lbs strawberries (stems removed and patted completely dry so chocolate sticks)
  • 4.5 cups chocolate (I prefer Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chips for easy melting)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 5 wooden sticks

For the decorations (optional)

  • confetti sprinkles
  • white chocolate (I use Baker's white chocolate bars for smooth drizzling)
  • shredded coconut
  • seeds
  • sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Remove the green stems from all strawberries and rinse them thoroughly under cool water. Pat each strawberry completely dry with paper towels—this is crucial because any moisture will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly. Once dry, thread 4 strawberries onto each wooden stick, pressing them gently so they sit securely but not so hard that you bruise the fruit.
  • Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy. The coconut oil helps thin the chocolate slightly for easier coating and creates a beautiful finish. I prefer this method because it gives you precise control and prevents overheating—burnt chocolate has a bitter, grainy texture that ruins the whole kabob.
  • Working with one strawberry stick at a time, dip it into the melted chocolate from Step 2, or use a spoon to coat it generously. Rotate the stick to ensure all sides of the strawberries are covered in chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl, then place the coated stick upright in a tall glass or holder to set. If the chocolate begins to thicken as you work, reheat it briefly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  • While the chocolate is still wet and tacky, immediately add your desired toppings to each kabob. Sprinkle on confetti sprinkles, shredded coconut, seeds, or any combination you prefer. For a drizzle effect, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl (using the same 30-second interval method), then drizzle it over the chocolate-coated strawberries using a spoon or fork. Let the decorated kabobs sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate sets completely, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
