Celebrate America’s birthday in style with these red, white and blue strawberry delights. All you need are large, quality strawberries and a little chocolate, then watch these treats disappear in a minute.

Steps

  1. Pour blue sugar into a small bowl. Place the bowl near the area where you plan to let the strawberries dry, preferably on a sheet of waxed paper laid out on the counter.
  2. Melt chocolate in a separate bowl. You can melt chocolate a few different ways--either in the microwave or using a double boiler.
    • Microwave chocolate in a glass bowl in 20 second increments. Stir chocolate and then return to the microwave until the chocolate is almost completely melted. Stirring chocolate will encourage the melting process.
    • Alternatively, melt on a double boiler by simmering chocolate on low, stirring constantly. Remove from heat just before chocolate is completely melted. Continue stirring until chocolate is completely melted.
  3. Dip strawberry into white chocolate, ¾ of the way. Hold the strawberry by the green stem to dip. Don’t dip all the way up--you want the top portion to remain red.
  4. Dip the bottom third of the chocolate covered strawberry into the blue sugar. Spoon sugar over the bottom to completely cover it.
  5. Place strawberry on waxed paper until cool/hardened.
  6. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Large strawberries (washed and dried)
  • White chocolate
  • Blue edible sugar

Tips

  • Only use ripe, red strawberries, and wash the strawberries well for the best results.
  • Leave the strawberry green tops on, so you can grip the strawberries for dipping.
  • To make your own blue sugar, mix 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 5 drops of blue food coloring in a bag. Shake well, and let dry on a baking sheet for 20 minutes. Now, use it in a recipe!
  • For extra flavor, you may want to use flavored sugars, such as Blue Raspberry and Blueberry.
  • Try this recipe with other red fruits such as raspberries for a bit of variety.
