Ingredients

  • 12 large strawberries
  • 1 16 oz vanilla almond bark or candiquik
  • 1 tsp red gel food coloring
  • 1 tsp yellow gel food coloring

Instructions

  • Clean berries, dry thoroughly. Line a large sheet pan with wax paper. Set aside.
  • Melt candy coating per the package directions, mix well. Continue to heat in 15 second increments, stopping to stir each time until mixture is completely smooth.
  • Add 1 tsp red food gel and 1 tsp yellow gel. Stir thoroughly, adding more of each color until desired intensity of color is reached.
  • Gather strawberry leaves into a bundle, and dip each strawberry in candy coating, twirling to coat. (If candy coating cools while you work, heat in microwave in 15 second increments to melt.)
  • Place dipped strawberries on wax paper lined sheet pan. Repeat until all strawberries are coated.
  • Decorate tops, drizzling remaining candy coating over each strawberry in desired pattern. Place pan into fridge to chill for 30 minutes or until set.
  • Remove from wax paper and use kitchen scissors to trim around bottom edge.
  • Store in an airtight container chilled for up to 3 days.

Notes

Depending on size of strawberries yield may vary.
