Chocolate dipped strawberries rank right up there with apple pie as favorite American gourmet treats…The kids can help makes these fruit pops and nibble on them while ooo-ing and aaah-ing during the fireworks display.

Ingredients:

• 15-20 large strawberries
• 3 squares of chocolate melting bark
• Red, white, and blue sprinkles
• 20 Skewers

Directions:

1. Melt the chocolate in a small ramekin in the microwave on low for one minute. Stir until creamy.
2. Put a strawberry on a skewer and dip in chocolate halfway up the strawberry.
3. Roll in sprinkles and place on wax paper or a plate to dry.
4. Pops are a little top heavy so either serve on a plate or poke skewers into half of a round watermelon that is lying face down on a plate.
