Equipment

wax paper
microwave proof glass bowl
toothpick

Materials

12 oz. yellow chocolate melts
1 lb. strawberries rinsed and dried. not all strawberries will be suitable for dipping. You'll probably weed some out
24 blue candies for the eyes - mini M&Ms or Sixlets are great options
orange sprinkles for the beak alternative in notes below

Instructions

Melt your chocolate in the glass bowl - I like to pop it in the microwave for 1 minute, stir and then pop it back in for 30 more seconds
Dip the strawberries into the bowl, spin them around to coat, and then set them on wax paper to dry
Dip a toothpick into the melted chocolate to get some melted chocolate on the tip
While the strawberries are upside down, use your toothpick to grab some melted chocolate and dot some melted chocolate onto the spots where the eyes and beak will go
In no particular order...add the beak - 2 orange sprinkles in a V (the image below has a great visual for this)
Finally, add the eyes
Flip the strawberry around and TaDa - you have little strawberry chicks.

Notes

*if it is a particularly warm day, your chocolate might take a little longer to harden. You might have to hold the candies in place a few seconds longer until the chocolate has cooled and thickened

nutrition facts are only an estimate

Beak Alternative:

If you are finding it too difficult to work with the delicate orange sprinkle, try turning using an Orange M&M broken in half turned so it is vertical
