Chocolate Covered Strawberry Christmas Trees

Strawberries and chocolate are hard to top, unless you add a little holiday flair. This amazingly delicious and adorable holiday treat will be a great addition to any party.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry  
Christmas Trees
 
Ingredients:
12 ounces dark green candy melts
1 pound of strawberries
24 Oreo cookies
White Icing
Sprinkles
Candy Stars

Icing:
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Add water by the teaspoon and whisk until the desired consistency is reached. You want it to be thick like toothpaste.
Directions:

Slowly melt the candy melts in the bowl, stirring occasionally. 
Spoon or pipe a small amount of icing onto the top of each Oreo. This will adhere the strawberry to the cookie base.
Once candy melts are fully melted, turn the heat to low while you dip the strawberries using a toothpick inserted into the cut end.
Shake off excess candy coating gently. Using a second toothpick inserted into the pointed end of the dipped strawberry, carefully place the strawberry on top of the icing on the Oreo.

Decorate with sprinkles and a candy star while the candy coating is still wet. It will usually dry in about 10 minutes.
