Ingredients
12 large fresh strawberries
12 ounces green candy melts
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
Wash strawberries in cold water and dry them thoroughly with paper towels.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
Dip each strawberry into the green coating until fully covered.
Place the coated berries onto the parchment-lined sheet and chill in the refrigerator until set.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a separate bowl.
Transfer melted chocolate to a piping bag.
Pipe hair, stitches, and eye details onto the front of each strawberry.
Allow chocolate decorations to harden completely before serving.
Notes
Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping; moisture will cause the candy coating to seize or slide off. For the best result, keep the berries refrigerated until right before serving to maintain the structure of the decorations.
