Pink :: Okay I'll stop my magazine bragging now.
Here is one of my favorite traditions for the 4th of July. So yummy. I found this in Family Fun Magazine years ago, I'm thinking 1999 issue maybe, the date is not on the page I ripped out.
Wash strawberries. My Kroger had these huge long stem ones in a package of bubble wrap. Make sure strawberries are dry. Any water will mess up the coating. Melt a package of white chips according to package. I use Nestle Premium White Morsels zapped in microwave 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Dip strawberry 2/3 way in. Then dip in blue sprinkles. I like India Tree's Sparkling Sugar in Electric Blue. Place on wax paper until hardened, which does not take long. I suggest to use containers that allow the melted chips and sugar to be deep enough to cover the strawberry.
These particular strawberries were super duper sweet which was almost too much. I like it better if the strawberries are kind of tart so next time I will go regular cheap strawberries instead of the extra large bubble wrapped ones. Makes a great gift to take to friends & family. And a big platter of them looks great at a party.
Happy 4th :: Think

Love it. For dipping I ALWAYS use the melting wafers now. You can find them on the candy aisle at Wal-Mart and craft stores. They melt SO much better than chips and they come in milk, white, dark and colors.

I made them and while not as pretty as yours, they were a big hit at our 4th celebration!

Thanks for the great idea. I made them for our neighborhood BBQ yesterday -- they were so easy, but mine were not as pretty as yours. They were a big hit and delicious too.
