How to Make Sugar Dipped Strawberries

A romantic night for two just isn't complete without the right food and drink--such as sugar-dipped strawberries and champagne. This sensual treat is easy to make and won't leave you--or that special someone--disappointed.

Things You'll Need

• 12 large, deep red strawberries
• 2 level cups of powdered sugar
• 2 sticks of sweet cream butter
• 2 6-oz. bowls
• medium serving dish

Instructions

1. Rinse the strawberries and carefully remove only the wilting sections of green. Leave enough green on the tops of them for garnishment.

2. Place the sweet cream butter in one of the bowls and microwave it until it is completely melted. This usually takes about a minute and a half, but times may vary depending on your microwave.

3. Pour the powdered sugar in the other bowl, and level it with a spoon after packing it into the bowl. Arrange the sugar bowl next to the bowl of melted butter.

4. Dip a strawberry into the warm butter. Leave about a quarter of an inch from the top of the strawberry.

5. Immediately dip the butter-covered strawberry into the bowl of powdered sugar. Push it into the middle of the mound with the point facing down.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining strawberries, and arrange all of the sugar-dipped berries on the serving dish.

Tips & Warnings

• Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup to add a little flair to your dish.
