Ingredients
1 qt. large strawberries, washed well and dried
16 mini pretzel rods
1 c. mini marshmallows
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips, melted
Preparation
Step 1Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment; set aside. Twist leaves of 1 strawberry to move them out of way, then spear end with a fork or toothpick for easy dipping.Step 2Make the legs: Break 1 pretzel rod in half and spear 2 marshmallows with one half. Using kitchen shears, trim ends of marshmallows to create an oval shape. Repeat with other pretzel half and 2 more marshmallows. Dab with chocolate and affix to the opposite sides of the pointy end of the strawberry.Step 3Make the wings: Using kitchen shears, cut 1 marshmallow in half diagonally. Dab cut sides with chocolate and affix to sides of strawberry near the top. Let sit until hardened, about 5 minutes. Step 4Using fork or toothpick, dip whole strawberry into more melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Arrange on prepared sheet.Step 5Repeat with remaining strawberries, pretzel rods, and marshmallows. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
They’re so simple to make: To make a leg, you spear two mini marshmallows with half a pretzel rod, then use kitchen shears to trim the edges into a long oval shape. Repeat for a second leg, then cut one mini marshmallow diagonally in half to make the wings. You’ll stick these to the strawberry with a dab of melted chocolate (which acts as your glue), then let that sit to adhere. All that’s left is a quick bath in melted chocolate.
