Ingredients

2 pound of strawberries
10 ounces dark chocolate Ghirardelli wafers
5 ounces white chocolate Ghirardelli wafers

Instructions

Start by melting your dark chocolate in the microwave for 20-30 second increments.
Lay out some parchment paper, and then with the melted dark chocolate hold the strawberries my leaves and dip in the chocolate.
Shake off the excess chocolate and then place the berry on parchment paper to set up. Repeat the process till all the strawberries have been dipped in the dark chocolate.
Next, once your chocolate is hardened, you will work on the white chocolate. Melt your chocolate in the microwave again. I placed my chocolate in the squirt bottle then stirred and heated till fully melted.
Let the chocolate cool a bit, if it is too hot the chocolate will run a lot. Then you will draw a straight line down the center of the berries. Then create 2-3 stripes across the berry to mimic football laces.
Once all your white chocolate is on the berries, you will then plate up the football strawberries and serve or refrigerate until you are ready to serve.

Notes

Chocolate For Melting - You can use almond bark or candy melts. If you use chocolate chips you need to add 1 teaspoon of shortening to the chocolate. Or temper your chocolate so the chocolate hardens.

Color of Chocolate - So you can get creative and use all different colors of chocolate. If you are rooting for Kansas City Chief do a yellow dipped strawberry with red laces. Or swap any colors you want to fit your teams colors.

Storing - These strawberries will store for 1-2 days in the fridge. After that the berries will break down a lot and release a lot more juices.
