There are so many great things about making these little lovelies. First of all, they are quick, if you watch the video you can see that we ran through the entire process in seven minutes or so. It was less than 90 seconds to heat the chocolate in the microwave

The second thing is there are only 2 ingredients The melting chocolate and the strawberries

Nicole decorates hers beautifly and gives them as gifts, I use this recipe as a quick something to bring to a last minute get together.

Using a cocktail fork or skewer dip your strawberries one by one and place onto the paper. If You do not have anything like this, you can pull the stems back with your fingers. Let them cool and harden. This does not take long at all!

Notes

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries in colored sugar

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.
