CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY CHRISTMAS TREES RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• ICING: Combine the powdered sugar and heavy cream together in a bowl. Add water by the teaspoon and whisk until the desired consistency is reached. You want it to be thick like toothpaste. TREES: Set a heat proof bowl over a small pot of simmering water on the stovetop to make a double boiler. Slowly melt the candy melts in the bowl, stirring occasionally. Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the candy. Spoon or pipe a small amount of icing onto the top of each Oreo. This will adhere the strawberry to the cookie base. Once you have melted the chocolate, turn the heat to low and while using a toothpick inserted into the cut end of each strawberry, dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate. Shake off excess candy coating gently. Using a second toothpick inserted into the pointed end of the dipped strawberry, carefully place the strawberry on top of the icing on the Oreo. Decorate with sprinkles and a candy star while the candy coating is still wet. It will usually dry in about 10 minutes.
