Pick through the strawberries and separate out the ones with the best quality. Set aside those with bruising or blemishes.

Rinse the selected berries under cold water in a colander and drain well.

Dry the strawberries with paper towels individually to ensure no water remains.

Place dried strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Insert a toothpick into the top of each strawberry for easy dipping.

Place chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 1-2 minutes on 50% power, stirring every 60 seconds until melted.

Dip each strawberry in the melted chocolate, coat almost to the stem, let excess drip off, and place back onto parchment paper.

Add sprinkles or other decorations immediately before the chocolate hardens.

To add a contrasting chocolate drizzle, melt contrasting chocolate and drizzle over berries using a squeeze bottle.
