Firecracker strawberry pops are a fun and festive 4th of July treat made by coating strawberries with candy melts and then dipping them in sanding sugar.
Ingredients
12fresh strawberrieswith the stem and leaves removed
1bag Red Candy Melts
1White Candy Melts
blue sugar sprinkles
cake pop sticks
Instructions
Press a stick through the end of each strawberry.
In a microwave safe dish, microwave red Candy Melts for 30 second and stir. Continue microwaving in 30 second intervals and stirring until melted.
Dip each strawberry into the melted red candy until it is covered all the way down to the stick (to help hold it in place).
Once the red candy has set, repeat the process to melt the white Candy Melts.
Dip each strawberry in the melted white Candy Melts, to cover it a little more than half way down.
Allow white candy to cool slightly (make sure it is still somewhat melted) and then dip the end of each strawberry in blue sugar.
