- 2 ounces white chocolate chips, optional
- Colorful sprinkles, optional

Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, rotating to coat evenly.
