Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash the strawberries under cold water, gently rubbing to remove dirt, and pat dry thoroughly.
  2. Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 10-15 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Dip each strawberry into the melted white chocolate covering about two-thirds and let excess drip off.
  4. Let the strawberries sit at room temperature on a parchment-lined tray until the chocolate sets, about 20-30 minutes.
  5. Melt red and blue candy melts in separate bowls using the same microwave method.
  6. Drizzle the melted red and blue candy melts over the set white chocolate in zigzag patterns.
  7. Sprinkle decorations on top before the candy melts harden.
  8. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate in an airtight container.
