Pro Tips for Success:

  • Dry your strawberries well before dipping. Wet berries can make the candy melt slide off.

  • Chill your strawberries in the fridge for 15 minutes before dipping for quicker setting.

  • Try different sprinkle shapes if you can’t find stars. White or silver glitter sprinkles also work great!

  • Add a drop of coconut oil to the candy melts for a smoother dip.

  • Use a cooling rack to let strawberries dry evenly and avoid a flat backside.

  • Make them ahead of time! These can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving.

  • Offer a dairy-free version by checking the candy melts label—some brands offer vegan options.
