Key Ingredients Needed
- 1 (12 ounce) bag Green Candy Melts
- 1 pound strawberries
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 1 container of vanilla frosting
- rainbow nonpareils
- candy stars
Instructions/Step By Step Directions
Step 1: Spoon the frosting into a piping bag or zip-top plastic baggie with the corner cut off to make frosting neat and easy. Pipe a layer of vanilla frosting onto the top of each Oreo cookie. This will act as the glue to stick the strawberry on top, but also look like snow.
Step 2: Cut stem-end off strawberries, slicing the end to create a flat surface so that the berry will stand up nicely.
Step 3: Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment until completely melted.
Step 4: Insert a dipping tool or small fork into the flat, cut end of a strawberry and dip it into the melted green candy. Use a second fork to gently remove the strawberry, placing it on top of the frosted cookie. Immediately top with a star and add sprinkles. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
Step 5: Chill strawberries uncovered in the refrigerator until set (about 30 minutes).
Step 6: For best taste and texture, serve your strawberries within a few hours of making them. As the strawberries set they will release juices, which can sog up the cookie over time. Store Christmas tree strawberries in the refrigerator until serving.
