Valentine Strawberries Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
• Microwave candy melts in separate bowls, 1 bowl at a time, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted.
• Dip strawberries into desired color of candy melts. Let excess candy drip off, then set on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with another color of candy melts. Top with sprinkles. Chill strawberries until set, at least 15 minutes and up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Mix lemon juice with as much milk as needed to measure 1 cup; let the soured milk stand for 5 minutes before using.

• Line 24 muffin tins with paper liners.
• Cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a large bowl.

Steps:

• Break wafers and cookies into the medium size pieces to fit into the blender. Pulse a few times till the crumbs are uniform. Transfer mixture to the bowl and add the sour cream. Add rum or your favorite liquor for an adult version.
• Take 1 table spoon of mixture, warm it up in your hands like you would a play-dough and shape it into a strawberry or just make a ball.
• Arrange 3 bowls: one with the beet juice, one with the sugar and last with the poppy seeds. Then dip into the beet juice to get that nice bright color and drench into sugar and poppy seeds mixtures.
