Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup light chocolate candy melts
  • 12 strawberries
  • 24 candy eyeballs
  • 36 heart sprinkles in red, pink, and white

Instructions

  • Wash strawberries and pat them down to dry.
  • Cut the leaves off of each strawberry, so it is flat on top.
  • Place candy melts in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute at 50% power. Stir, and heat in 30 second intervals (stirring each time), until fully metled and creamy.

Notes

If the chocolate has already hardened on the strawberry, dip the tip of a knife in the remaining melted chocolate, and add a tiny dab to the back of each eyeball or sprinkle to help them adhere.
The strawberries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
