Red White and Blue Berries

Ingredients

  • 24 large fresh strawberries (washed and thoroughly dried)

  • 10 oz high-quality white chocolate baking bar (or premium melting wafers)

  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar (or white edible glitter)

  • 3-4 drops blue liquid or gel food coloring

Instructions

  • Wash strawberries and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  • In a small bowl, combine the white sugar and blue food coloring. Stir vigorously until the sugar is an even, vibrant blue color.

  • Set up a double-boiler over low heat. Add the white chocolate and stir continuously until smoothly melted and creamy. Remove from heat.

  • Holding a strawberry by the green stem, dip the bottom two-thirds into the melted white chocolate. Let any excess drip off.

  • Immediately dip the bottom tip of the chocolate-coated berry into the blue sugar, or use a small spoon to sprinkle it on.

  • Place the finished berry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • Repeat with the remaining berries. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature before serving.
