I love Memorial Day! It is the first holiday at work (that’s always a good thing), and it is the unofficial start to Summer. We usually grill out for Memorial Day. We’ve done everything from chicken to burgers and ribs. I’m not sure what we are going grill this year, but I know what dessert will be – these super cute patriotic strawberries!
These are so easy to make. Just dip the strawberries in some vanilla almond bark and then into blue sugar. They look very festive and taste like summer! These strawberries would be equally appropriate for the 4th of July. I love how quick and easy these are to make, and I especially love that this dessert doesn’t require an oven. So, if you are invited to a Memorial Day party this weekend, make sure you volunteer to bring dessert. These strawberries will be the talk of the party.
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 8 oz vanilla almond bark
- Blue sanding sugar
Wash and completely dry strawberries.
Line a baking sheet or cutting board with wax paper. Melt almond bark according to package directions until smooth. Place blue sanding sugar into a small bowl and set it aside.
When almond bark is smooth, dip the berries ¾ of the way into the bark, shake off the excess. Dip the tip of the strawberry into the blue sugar. Place on wax paper. Refrigerate the strawberries until the almond bark is set and you are ready to serve.
I made these to watch fireworks last night with our family and they were a HUGE hit!! I had to fight my kids and nephews for the last one (does that make me a bad person?)!!
Loving these!!!
I just saw this recipe and really wished I did before but I am going to make them! They are so cute!!
Steph, I'm hoping to make these while we're at the beach next week. Where do I buy sanding sugar?
Those ROCK! I'm so stealing this idea!
aw those are SOOO stinkin cute!
My exact words when I saw these in my feed were "How freakin' adorable!"
I've been saving those for Fourth of July since I found them on Pinterest! How fun!
So fun! I love new ways to celebrate the holidays and this is a great idea! Thanks, Chris
