Chocolate Covered Strawberry Christmas Tree

These chocolate covered strawberry Christmas trees are a fun and easy Christmas project to do with your kiddos!

12 ounces dark green candy melts
1 pound of strawberries, stems removed
24 Oreo cookies
White Icing
Sprinkles
Candy Stars
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Add water by the teaspoon and whisk until the desired consistency is reached. You want it to be thick like toothpaste.

• Set a heat proof bowl over a small pot of simmering water on the stovetop (double boiler).
• Slowly melt the candy melts in the bowl, stirring occasionally.
• Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the candy.
• Spoon or pipe a small amount of icing onto the top of each Oreo.
• This will adhere the strawberry to the cookie base.
• Once candy melts are fully melted, turn the heat to low while you dip the strawberries using a toothpick inserted into the cut end.
• Shake off excess candy coating gently.
• Using a second toothpick inserted into the pointed end of the dipped strawberry, carefully place the strawberry on top of the icing on the Oreo.
• Decorate with sprinkles and a candy star while the candy coating is still wet.
• It will usually dry in about 10 minutes.
