Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowls
  • Fork or dipping tool
  • Sheet pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 24 fresh strawberries washed and dried completely
  • 1 cup white candy melts
  • ½ cup blue candy melts
  • cup blue sanding sugar

Instructions
 

  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, stir in a bit of coconut oil (see notes below).
  • Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip about two-thirds of the way into the white candy coating. Let any excess drip off.
  • Place the dipped strawberry on the prepared tray and repeat with the remaining strawberries.
  • Let the white coating set for about 5–10 minutes, or until just firm.
  • Melt the blue candy melts in a clean microwave-safe bowl, using the same method as before.
  • Dip the bottom third of each strawberry into the blue candy melt, just enough to create a red-white-blue layered look.
  • Immediately dip or roll the blue end into a bowl of blue sanding sugar to coat.
  • Return the finished strawberry to the tray and let them sit until fully set.

Notes

***Candy melts can sometimes be a little thick or clumpy when melted. To smooth things out, stir in about 1 -2 teaspoons of refined coconut oil at a time until the texture is silky and dippable. Avoid using water, as it will cause the candy melts to seize.
