Description
These Strawberry Christmas Tree Treats are a festive, no-bake holiday dessert made with juicy strawberries, green candy melts, and frosted oatmeal cookies. They’re adorable, easy to make, and perfect for parties or edible gifts!
Ingredients
- 24 oz dark green candy melts
- 2 lbs fresh strawberries, cleaned and hulled
- 18 frosted oatmeal cookies
- ¼ cup colorful nonpareils
- 18 yellow star candies (for toppers)
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries: Wash, dry, and hull the strawberries so they can stand flat.
- Melt candy: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the top and dip it into the melted candy, coating it evenly. Allow excess to drip off.
- Decorate: Place each coated strawberry on a frosted oatmeal cookie (flat side up). Quickly sprinkle with nonpareils before the coating sets.
- Top with star: Press a yellow star candy onto the tip of each strawberry tree.
- Set and serve: Let the treats set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 minutes until firm. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping—moisture can prevent the candy from sticking.
- You can substitute white chocolate tinted green with food coloring if you don’t have candy melts.
- For an extra festive touch, drizzle with white chocolate “garland.”
