Chocoberry Pops

Hi everyone! I hope that your having a great week! How is your Christmas shopping coming along? Are you planning to give any homemade treats for your neighbors or friends? This year I decided to give some of my special treats to my close friends.  If you follow my blog you may know that my oven broke down on Thanksgiving day, so I haven't been able to post any yummy goodies for you, but even though my oven  is broken it doesn't meant that we can't eat sweet treats!!! Well here is what I decided to make today, I wil be making these to give has treats.

You will need:

Fresh Strawberries (wash strawberries but make sure they are completely dry)
Candy wafers (make'n mold are the ones I use the most, they seem to work better for me)
Lollipop sticks
Parchment or wax Paper

Instructions

1. Wash and dry the strawberries
2.  Melt you candy wafers however you like best (microwave or Electric Chocolate Melter)
3. Insert the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it half way into the tip of the strawberry
4. Let it sit for a few minute or until the chocolate hardens
5. Dip the strawberry into the melted chocolate
6. Let it sit in the parchment/wax paper


Tada!!!

It's this simple 


You can customize the wrapping however you like 



For my wrapping I used: 

Mini treat bags  to wrap the treat
Michael's Ribbon - Merry Christmas
Michael's - Jingle bells
DC Stamps - 4 You Stamp 


I hope you enjoyed my post today.
