Guess what? I’ve been getting super festive in the kitchen and whipped up these adorable Strawberry Christmas Trees! They’re almost too cute to eat… almost. 😉 They’re perfect for holiday parties or just a fun activity with the kids. And the best part? You only need 4 ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup green candy melts
- Assorted sprinkles for decoration
- Small star sprinkles for the tree tops
Instructions:
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Rinse the strawberries and gently pat them dry. Make sure they are completely dry before dipping.
- Cut off the leafy stem to create a flat base so the strawberries can stand like trees.
- Melt the Chocolate and Candy:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, melt the green candy melts in the same manner until they are fully melted and smooth.
- Combine Chocolate and Candy Melts:
- Mix the melted white chocolate chips with the green candy melts to get a festive green color. Adjust the color as desired by adding more green candy melts.
- Dip the Strawberries:
- Hold a strawberry by the tip and dip it into the green chocolate mixture, ensuring it’s completely covered.
- Gently tap the strawberry to remove excess coating.
- Decorate:
- Before the coating sets, decorate the strawberries with assorted sprinkles to mimic Christmas lights and baubles.
- Place a small star sprinkle at the tip of each strawberry to act as the tree topper.
- Set:
- Carefully place the coated and decorated strawberries on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or a silicone mat.
- Let them set at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until the coating is firm.
- Serve:
- Once set, arrange your Strawberry Christmas Trees on a platter sprinkled with powdered sugar to resemble snow if desired.
- Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
