If you're looking for something easy that can also be a fun group effort, look no further than chocolate covered strawberries! It’s creative, effortless, and always fun to do with a helper. It’s also a wonderful New Years Eve dessert idea because its single serve and pairs well with any drink!

Strawberries- I would suggest getting at least 1-2 extra boxes of strawberries above your intended guest list because it's good to have the wiggle room when you're decorating and if there are some bruised or bad strawberries.

Skewers- These are just handy to use when you're dipping your strawberries and it prevents ripping at the leaves! It also keeps your berry in place while you decorate.

Chocolate- I recommend avoiding real chocolate for this, Ghirardelli has amazing melting wafers varying from dark to milk. What makes them great though is that they are meant exactly for dipping and decoration which means they set fast and dont need to be tempered! Another good thing about these wafers is that any time your chocolate begins to harden you can pop it in the oven for ten seconds and it'll be good as new.

Toppings- Regular chocolate covered strawberries are delicious and simple but if you want to take it up a notch to fit your party’s theme I suggest playing with the colors of the holiday. I use gold leaf, dust, and sprinkles to recreate the New Years Eve vibe but like I said let your creativity shine!
