I had planned a really cute Super Bowl themed lunch, but then my daughter came home with the worst news: she ordered hot lunch!!! What?! Apparently they started using these really cute baskets to serve the lunch at school and she just had to try it,lol!! See, even the school knows it's all about the presentation ;)
So instead all I have for you are my Super Bowl Strawberries. Due to the colors of this years teams,these would also be great for 4th of July and Memorial Day! So file this away for those summer parties!
As you probably have noticed, I like strawberries. I think it's the fact that they are easily manipulated into different things and they are so sweet, it's like eating a dessert. You know, a dessert that is actually good for you! And well most kids love them! Now these are not as healthy but they are better than a slice cake! And they are a piece of cake to make!
Wash and dry your strawberries, the bigger the better for these.
Put some blue sanding sugar( you could use jimmies too) in a bowl
Put out a piece of wax paper for cooling
Melt white chocolate candy pieces in your double boiler. Once the chocolate is melted, dip the strawberry part way in, you want to see the red so you get the red, white and blue effect. Make sure the excess drips off and then dip the bottom tip into the sugar. Allow to cool and harden on wax paper.
And that's it!!
These are best made day of or night before as the sugar can get weird if it's stored too long in the fridge.
Hope you have a great weekend and don't indulge in too much bad Super Bowl foods and I hope your team wins!
So, did your team win? These colours would have worked for either team :)
