Ingredients You’ll Need
Strawberries
Green Candy Melts
Mini Marshmallows
Colored Chocolate (blue, red, orange)
Green Icing
Directions You’ll Need to Follow
Cut the green tops off of the strawberries. Melt the Green Candy Melts and dip the mini marshmallows inside. Place the marshmallows on top of the strawberries. The Green Candy Melts should make them stick.
Let the strawberries sit until the chocolate is completely hardened. If you’re short on time, a few minutes in the fridge will harden them faster. When the chocolate is hard, dip the top of the strawberry into more melted green chocolate so that the marshmallow is completely covered. Set on wax paper and again, let sit until the chocolate is completely hardened.
Melt colored chocolates and dip the strawberries in. You will want to hold the green cap carefully to make sure the colored chocolate comes all the way up to the edge. Once dipped place the strawberries on wax paper until they harden. Make sure each strawberry is sat level. If they’re not, hold it for 30 seconds until the chocolate hardens enough to support it the strawberry. When serving, set the strawberries on a white serving tray.
To decorate the tray melt more green chocolate and pipe the chocolate onto the edges of the platter, swirling it around so that it looks like a cord from a string of Christmas tree lights.
