Ingredients

Scale

You’ll Need:

  • 1 lb. of Ripe Strawberries, rinsed and towel-dried
  • A (12 oz.) package of bright yellow candy melts
  • Oreo Cookies

Suggested Equipment:

  • A microwavable glass bowl
  • Silicone Spatula
  • Wax Paper
  • Toothpick

Instructions

  • You’ll want to melt your chocolate using the package directions until it is smooth
  • *I usually pour the melts into a bowl, and microwave for one minute then stir until smooth. If needed, I microwave for another 30 seconds and then stir until smooth
  • Gripping the strawberry, dip it into the chocolate spinning it around until it is coated all the way up to the top of the strawberry. Some red will still be exposed
  • Lift your strawberry into the air, and holding it over the bowl, continue to swirl it around getting most of the excess chocolate off
  • Next, set your chocolate strawberries on wax paper to dry
  • Optional: Once they have dried, pull the leaves off and dip the other end into the chocolate and let it dry on the wax paper
  • Now, arrange 5 strawberries with the tops facing inward on a plate or platter
  • Place an Oreo Cookie in the center
  • Continue making more until you have several sunflowers for display at your party

Notes

Storage:

Ideally, you should only make these a couple of hours in advance and store them at room temperature (in a cool room)

If you have leftovers, store them covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
