Home Run Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Just when I thought we were finished with baseball season, my wonderful friend and neighbor, Sophie, stopped by with baseball treats ~ and not just any ordinary baseball treats. These baseball strawberries are the most glamorous, sporty kind of dessert I have ever seen.

These are one of those why didn’t I think of that desserts. Hmmm… maybe because I don’t typically associate little boys with dirty uniforms indulging in such fancy sweets.  Now, their moms, on the other hand who survived running back and forth to practices, getting boys up early to get to morning games on time, and somehow doing the impossible by making the dirtiest pants white again, are worth every bite of these! I suspect it was a man’s idea to make white colored baseball pants. No laundry lovin’ woman I know would have ever okayed that.

Chocolate and strawberries are one of the best combos ever created. These are by far the biggest and prettiest strawberries I’ve seen this season. How come these beauties aren’t at the store this season? Strawberries are grown locally in Southern California, so people who live here have big expectations when it comes to strawberry season. I’m not sure where these miracle strawberries came from, but I want a few more!

After dipping these strawberries in white chocolate, two thin lines of white chocolate were piped on each strawberry. Red candy melts were melted and used to pipe the stitching marks. I love these! Thanks for thinking of us Sophie!

    These little baseballs are awesome, but they would be even better if you got them from your own garden. Strawberries are easy to grow and you don’t have to put pesticides on them like the ones you buy in the farmer’s market or grocery store. You can’t beat the flavor of a fresh picked strawberry, it’s so much better than the ones you buy in the store.
