Little handheld 4th of July desserts that are big on patriotism

Patriotic dipped strawberries recipe

Yields 12 – 15

Ingredients:

• 1 pint organic strawberries, washed and dried
• 1 package white chocolate chips or white chocolate candy coating
• Blue sanding sugar or blue sprinkles
• 1 large cookie sheet lined with waxed paper

Directions:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate as directed on the package. (Sometimes it is necessary to stir halfway to get all the chocolate melted.)
2. To a bowl, add the blue sanding sugar or blue sprinkles.
3. Hold a strawberry by the stem, and gently dip it into the melted white chocolate. Let any extra chocolate drip off the strawberry to avoid clumping. Then dip the strawberry into the sanding sugar or blue sprinkles.
4. Place the strawberry on the waxed paper to allow it to dry. Repeat with the remaining strawberries. Keep the strawberries in the refrigerator until ready to be served.
