Pro Tips for Success:
-
Use room temp strawberries so they don’t shock the sugar and split when dipped.
-
Dry your berries really well before coating—any water can mess with the candy shell.
-
Skip the candy thermometer? Try dropping some syrup in cold water—it should crack instantly.
-
Add a little lemon juice to the sugar mix to help prevent crystallizing.
These Strawberry Tangulu Skewers are the perfect sweet bite for any fun event.
Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, picnic in the park, or planning a playful birthday bash, this shiny strawberry treat is sure to sparkle on your party table.
