Sports Dipped Strawberries

I found this recipe this morning and knew that I had to save it. It's adorable and it looks super complicated but after reading, it really isn't. There's only two ingrediants: candy melts and strawberries. Seems it just takes a little time and patience. I found it over at Recipe Girl.

Sports Dipped Strawberries

These strawberries are fun for Father's Day or sport's- themed parties...

Ingredients:

Wilton's candy melts- white, orange, cocoa and red
2 pints of strawberries

Directions:

1. Make baseball-dipped berries: Melt white candy melts in a glass bowl in the microwave (about 2 minutes). Stir until smooth. Dip strawberries in white and set on waxed paper. Once the strawberries are all dipped and set, melt a few of the red candy melts in a glass bowl (microwaved). Spoon the melted red into a piping bag (or use a sandwich baggie with the corner snipped off and a small tip inserted into the corner- Wilton #2). Carefully pipe laces onto the white dipped "baseballs." Let them set before moving to a platter.
2. Make basketball-dipped berries: Melt orange candy melts just as you melted the white. Dip strawberries into the orange and set them on waxed paper. Then melt a few of the cocoa melts and spoon those into a piping bag with a small tip. Carefully draw basketball lines on the orange dipped "basketballs." Let them set before moving to a platter.
3. Make football-dipped berries: Melt cocoa candy melts just as you melted the others. Dip strawberries into the brown and set them on waxed paper. Then melt a few of the white melts and spoon those into a piping bag with a small tip. Carefully draw a line across the bottom and the top of brown-dipped "footballs" and draw the laces down the front. Let them set before moving to a platter.
