Pro Tips for Perfect Monster Strawberries

Make sure your strawberries are fully dry before dipping or the chocolate won’t stick
Gel food coloring gives the richest colors—avoid liquid food dye
Work quickly once dipped—those candy eyes won’t stick once the coating sets
These are best served within 24 hours but can last up to 2 days chilled
