Ingredients and Supplies

(see recipe card at the bottom of this post for measurements and details)

Ingredients:

• Strawberries
• Vanilla candy coating
• Blue decorating sugar

Supplies:

• Microwave safe bowl (or container provided with candy coating)
• Sheet pan
• Parchment paper

How to Make Red, White & Blue Strawberries

• Wash and dry whole strawberries.
• Melt vanilla candy coating according to package directions.
• Dip whole strawberries halfway into the melted candy coating, let the excess drip off.
• Then dip the strawberry 1/4 of the way in blue decorating sugar.

• Transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan to set completely before serving.

Storage

For the best appearance and texture, enjoy them within 24 hours. Strawberries naturally release moisture in the refrigerator, so after a few days the candy coating may begin to sweat or soften, and the blue decorating sugar may bleed slightly into the white coating.

To store leftovers, let the candy coating harden completely. Then place the coated strawberries in a single layer on a platter or in a container lined with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Cover loosely before refrigerating to help prevent excess moisture from softening the coating. Enjoy within 2 days.

I don’t recommend freezing them as frozen strawberries become mushy as they thaw, causing the candy coating to crack and separate.
