How to Make St. Patrick’s Day Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Here are the ingredients you need to make these chocolate covered strawberries for St. Patrick’s Day, plus step by step instructions for how to make them.
Ingredients
- 8 large strawberries
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon green chocolate chips
- 1-2 dark chocolate chips for garnish
- 2 drops green food coloring
Step by Step Instructions
1. Place cleaned, completely dry strawberries in the refrigerator for about 1 hour so they’re well chilled. Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or short microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
2. Insert a skewer into each strawberry, dip into the melted chocolate, and gently shake off the excess. Stand the skewers upright in glasses filled with rice to set.
3. Before the chocolate firms up, sprinkle green chocolate chips over 3 of the strawberries. Refrigerate all the dipped strawberries until the coating is fully set. Once hardened, move the sprinkled strawberries to a parchment-lined surface.
4. Reheat the remaining white chocolate, then tint it with green food coloring. Transfer the green chocolate to a piping bag. Pipe a simple lattice pattern over 2 strawberries and return them to the refrigerator to set.
5. Use the remaining strawberries to create freeform green stripes. Melt the dark chocolate and pipe a few thin lines over the berries for contrast. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until all decorations are firm.
6. Chocolate-covered strawberries are best enjoyed fresh. Arrange them on a serving plate and serve right away. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Notes
- Choose strawberries that are firm and evenly red, with fresh-looking green stems. Avoid berries with soft spots or excess moisture.
- Wash the strawberries well and dry them completely before dipping—any water can prevent the chocolate from sticking.
- For the smoothest melt and a glossy finish, use white chocolate made with cocoa butter rather than substitutes.
- Extra toppings like green chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed pistachios, nuts, green coconut flakes, or sugar crystals add texture and extra festive flair.
