It’s my sister’s birthday over July 4th weekend. We are having a cookout and I want a festive, sweet treat that isn’t too harsh on the waistline, but still sweet and delicious. I think these festive strawberries are the perfect treat for our celebration. I am also baking her a 4th of July cake that is red, white and blue-tiful!
These chocolate covered strawberries are fun to make with the kiddies. I love making festive treats, it’s kind of my thing. I get so much joy out of these patriotic chocolate covered strawberries and kids will too!
