How to Make 4th of July Strawberries

Celebrate America’s birthday in style with these red, white and blue strawberry delights. All you need are large, quality strawberries and a little chocolate, then watch these treats disappear in a minute.

EditIngredients

• Large strawberries (washed and dried)
• White chocolate
• Blue edible sugar

EditSteps

1. Pour blue sugar into a small bowl. Place the bowl near the area where you plan to let the strawberries dry, preferably on a sheet of waxed paper laid out on the counter.
   
2. Melt chocolate in a separate bowl. You can melt chocolate a few different ways--either in the microwave or using a double boiler.
   
   • Microwave chocolate in a glass bowl in 20 second increments. Stir chocolate and then return to the microwave until the chocolate is almost completely melted. Stirring chocolate will encourage the melting process.
   • Alternatively, melt on a double boiler by simmering chocolate on low, stirring constantly. Remove from heat just before chocolate is completely melted. Continue stirring until chocolate is completely melted.
3. Dip strawberry into white chocolate, ¾ of the way. Hold the strawberry by the green stem to dip. Don’t dip all the way up--you want the top portion to remain red.
   
4. Dip the bottom third of the chocolate covered strawberry into the blue sugar. Spoon sugar over the bottom to completely cover it.
   
5. Place strawberry on waxed paper until cool/hardened.
   
6. Enjoy!
   

EditTips

• Only use ripe, red strawberries for best results.
• Leave strawberry green tops so you can grip the strawberries for dipping.
