Equipment
medium microwave-safe bowl
sheet of parchment paper, placed on the work surface
small microwave-safe bowl
toothpicks
Ingredients
12
ounces
white chocolate or candy melts
½
teaspoon
coconut oil
2
pounds
strawberries
washed and dried
¼
cup
black candy melts
Instructions
In a medium bowl, melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals until chips are melted and smooth. Stir well between each interval.
12 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
Stir in the coconut oil.
½ teaspoon coconut oil
Dip the strawberries in the melted white chocolate and place on a sheet of parchment paper to rest. Repeat with all of the strawberries.
2 pounds strawberries
In a small bowl, melt the black candy melts using the same interval method as the white chocolate.
¼ cup black candy melts
Use a toothpick to add two eyes and a mouth to each strawberry.
Allow to rest for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before coating them with the white chocolate. Water can cause the chocolate to seize.
Coconut oil helps to keep the white chocolate from hardening as fast, which makes it easier to work with.
If it does get to stiff to dip the strawberries in, just microwave it to melt it again.
You can use a piping bag (with a very small round tip) to put on the face instead of the toothpicks if you prefer.
