I made these for a murder mystery party and the theme was the Academy Awards. These strawberries were a hit and so easy to make. Definitely recommend making. Volunteer Field Editor
These are easy, cute and delicious. An important thing to know is, chocolate strawberries will mold and ruin pretty fast. They never last long at my house. My daughter and I both love them.
I just wasted $8.00 worth of chips. Melted the white chips in the microwave on level six and they burned. So I tried again on - level FOUR and again it got thick and scorched even before the chips were melted. So I tried melting the chocolate chips on the stove in a double boiler. There is no way I could "dip" the berries. By the time the chips melted, it was thicker than molasses in January. So I guess I'll go back to using the dipping chocolate discs I have used before. Obviously I did something wrong since everyone else seemed to have great success. The berries are still good, but the melted mess is in the trash.
Great recipe
this was so good and easy i will be making it again such a cute idea
My friend and I did come up with some ladies evening gowns to match the tuxedos...there are lots of colored icings and decorative cake toppers to make strapless, off the shoulder and spaghetti strap beautiful gowns! No two alike!
So classy and fun to make. Thanks Gisella!
Easy to do and delicious!!!
This is a such a special touch to an already Valentine must make treat! They are very elegant and everyone that saw them were impressed! These strawberries are something I will definitely keep in my bag of tricks for special occaisions. I am going to try and come up with a lady evening gown design to go with them! Nice work Gisella.
