These candy coated strawberries are pretty easy to make if you follow a few steps . Here a few tips to follow when making these Candy coated strawberry carrots:

 

  • Dip room temperature strawberries
  • Make sure the berries are dry by patting them with paper towels. If they are damp it muddles the chocolate and doesn’t stick as well
  • I used Wilton melting wafers -Follow the packages direction to prevent from burning it
  • Use a small bowl for the melted wafers just deep enough to coat the berries , you can always melt more  if you run out
  • When Dipping use the leaves to hold on to the berry, if they are too little you can use a toothpick
  • After the berry is covered make sure you scrape one side of the chocolate on the bowl to prevent puddling
  • Use wax paper for the berries to dry on
  • Store at room temperature to prevent sweating
  • Best eaten with in 24 hours

Pull the leaves back and use this as the handle. Then dip the strawberry on all sides trying to get as close to the leaves as possible. Place the dipped strawberries on waxed paper to set up.

Once the strawberries have set up I like drizzling a little extra on top of them.
