Ingredients

  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate
  • ½ tablespoon of canola oil
  • 1 pound of Strawberries
  • yellow candy hearts
  • candy eyes

Instructions

  • Clean and dry strawberries, do not remove stems.
  • Melt chocolate in the microwave. Use the melt chocolate setting or melt in intervals of 30 seconds.
  • Once melted, add canola oil and mix until well blended.
  • Dip strawberries ¾ of the way at an angle into the chocolate mix making sure the tip is covered but leave an uncovered patch to form the bird's belly.
  • Once dipped, place the strawberries on parchment paper to decorate and let set.
  • Place candy eyes immediately into chocolate, at the tip section of the strawberries.
  • Finally, insert the candy heart’s tip into the strawberry right under the eyes to form the open beak.
