# 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)
# How To Make It:
01 - Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries, ensuring all moisture is removed.
02 - Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, melt the green candy melts or green white chocolate, adding coconut oil if desired for a smoother texture.
04 - Hold each strawberry by the tip and dip the base approximately two-thirds of the way up into the green chocolate to form the hat, allowing excess to drip off.
05 - Quickly dip the tip of the strawberry into the white chocolate to form the pom-pom.
06 - Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
07 - While the chocolate is still wet, affix a mini marshmallow onto the tip for the pom-pom, and arrange another mini marshmallow or sprinkle candies around the base as hat trim.
08 - Add candy pearls or sprinkles as desired for extra embellishment.
09 - Let the strawberries set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 minutes until the chocolate firm backs.
