4th of July Strawberries
Red, white and blue strawberries are a simple and festive way to celebrate the Patriotic Days!
- 8 Strawberries, washed and dried<br /><br />
- White chocolate<br /><br />
- Blue sugar, edible glitter, or sprinkles <br /><br />
-
Wash the strawberries and let them dry completely. (If they are still wet, the chocolate will not stick to the berries.)
-
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring it occasionally, until it is smooth and runny.
-
Pour blue sprinkles into another bowl.
-
Dip the strawberries in the white chocolate to cover roughly ⅔ of each berry with white chocolate.
-
Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl and wipe away any globs of chocolate at the end of the berry.
-
Then dip the strawberry into the blue sprinkles to cover roughly the bottom ⅓ of the berry with a blue stripe.
-
Place the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
-
Place the berries, uncovered, in the refrigerator to harden.
-
Store leftover berries in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Chocolate-covered strawberries are best when eaten within 1 or 2 days of being made.
