Patriotic Strawberries 

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs strawberries

1 cup white chocolate chips

Blue sugar

Directions

Wash and DRY strawberries. Place white chocolate chips in microwaveable bowl. Microwave at 70% power for 1 minute. Stir. If needed microwave at additional 10-15 second intervals, stirring just until chips are melted. Put blue sugar into another small bowl. Dip strawberries into chocolate leaving 1/3 of strawberry uncovered. Before chocolate sets, dip tips of strawberries into blue sprinkles. Place on wax paper to cool and set. You can pop them in the refrigerator if you’re serving them later in the day, but don’t make these more than a day in advance.

Ingredients

Ice cream sandwiches (I used regular size and cut them in half. You could buy the mini ones, too.)

Red, White and Blue Sprinkles
Popsicle sticks (optional)

Directions 

Pour sprinkles into a med. bowl. Cut ice cream sandwiches in half. Use a popsicle stick if you want (it's less messy to eat that way). Dip each side into sprinkles. Serve immediately or return to the freezer. You can layer these on a plate with wax paper in between layers and freeze until ready to use.

I couldn't find Red, White and Blue Sprinkles at the store. So, I made my own.

The Results...
Super easy and fun.  Have a Happy 4th of July!
