# What You Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 20 large fresh strawberries, stems removed
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz white chocolate or candy melts
03 - 5 oz green candy melts or green white chocolate
04 - 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
→ Decorations
05 - 40 mini marshmallows
06 - 40 red and/or white candy pearls or mini candies
07 - 2 tbsp festive sprinkles (red, white, or green)
08 - Edible glitter (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Wash the strawberries thoroughly and dry completely to remove all moisture.
02 - Place white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, melt green candy melts or green white chocolate, adding coconut oil if desired for a smoother consistency.
04 - Hold each strawberry by the tip and dip the base about two-thirds up into the green chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
05 - Immediately dip the tip of each strawberry into the white chocolate to create the pom-pom effect.
06 - Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet for decorating.
07 - While the chocolate is still wet, affix a mini marshmallow at the tip for the pom-pom and arrange additional marshmallows or sprinkle candies around the hat base.
08 - Enhance with candy pearls or festive sprinkles as desired.
09 - Allow strawberries to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 minutes until the chocolate firms.
