(None specified in original recipe)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to create a non-stick surface for the strawberries.
- Carefully rinse strawberries under cool water, then pat them completely dry using paper towels to prevent moisture interference with the coating.
- Melt orange candy chips in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a smooth, glossy liquid.
- Remove the saucepan from heat immediately after the chips have fully melted to prevent scorching or burning.
- Tilt the pan at an angle and delicately dip each strawberry, rotating to ensure an even, elegant coating while carefully avoiding the green leafy tops.
- Gently position each coated strawberry onto the prepared parchment-lined sheet, maintaining adequate spacing to prevent unexpected merging.
- Allow the candy coating to solidify naturally at room temperature, or expedite the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
- If the candy coating begins to stiffen in the saucepan, return it to low heat and stir until it regains its fluid consistency.
- Transfer the remaining melted candy into a piping bag or zippered plastic bag, preparing for decorative embellishment.
- Create decorative patterns by snipping a tiny corner of the bag and gracefully drizzling delicate lines across the strawberries’ surface.
