Notes

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries in colored sugar
 
Dip'd Strawberries in just chocolate
The third thing is, the fact that you can dip almost anything. I dipped pretzels in addition to the strawberries.  But bananas are fabulous dipped and frozen, yum! They are a great alternative to ice cream because you can just have a bite and be satisfied.
The fourth reason I like this recipe is its versatility. You can see in the picture strawberries in various colors of chocolate and drizzled color. T plating is also fun with the rainbow sugar. You can roll them in nuts edible gold sugar or leave them plain. 
Here is a serving tip: Once dry we serve them in a dish typically used for deviled eggs.
