Easter Egg Decorated Strawberries

Easter Egg Decorated Candy-Covered StrawberriesThese festive candy-covered strawberries are decorated to look like little Easter Eggs. They are available from several places on the internet, covered with everything from white chocolate to yogurt. You decide what covering you like and then you can order 1/2 dozen to a dozen at a time.

I have to warn you that they are not only pricey, but they are extremely perishable. Why not save some money and have a fun family play session and make your own?

All you need is to gather strawberries, some easy melt candies, and some frosting tubes or baggies. Melt the candy, then color with pastel food coloring. Dip the cleaned strawberries into the various colored candy melt and drizzle different color icing over the top to make decorated Easter egg strawberries. You don’t even need a decorator’s piping bag. Just put some frosting in a baggie, make a tiny snip in the corner and squeeze out designs, or curlicues, or whatever you want.

It may take some practice to make them look as perfect as the picture, but the important thing is that you can achieve results for much less money and make a whole lot more strawberry treats. And you can always gobble up the less-than perfect looking ones. Yum!

What a wonderful way to have inexpensive treats for Easter dinner. And, as a bonus, if you make them with your children, you are teaching them valuable skills.

St. Patrick’s Day Candy from Mrs. See’s

Gold Foil Chocolate Coins for St. Patrick's Day from See's CandiesJust in case you didn’t get all the yummy chocolates you wanted for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day is another chance to stock-up. Growing up in Southern California I was lucky enough to learn about Mrs. See’s candies at an early age. These candies are so good, because they taste like they are homemade.

If you’ve ever heard about leprechauns, then you know that they are supposed to each have a huge pot of gold. But the only way humans can find the gold is to search at the end of a rainbow or, get these delicious Chocolate Gold Foil Coins from See’s. The gold-mesh bag holds two sizes of milk chocolate “gold” coins wrapped in foil, then stamped with “United States of America”. Absolutely wonderful!

For years, only southern Californians were able to get these fabulous sweets, but now they have online catalogs so the rest of the world can enjoy these delightful confections. And if you aren’t interested in gold coins, perhaps you would prefer See’s St. Patrick’s Day Potatoes. These clever candies are hand shaped and enrobed in See’s milk chocolate. The ’spud’ is then rolled in a special blend of cinnamon and cocoa powder. Finally, the ‘eyes’ of the potato are applied using pine nuts. They are so good, they have to be tasted to be believed.
