FAQs

My chocolate isn’t sticking to the strawberries. What am I doing wrong?

Be sure to dry the cut side of the fruit on a paper towel, that will help.

Can I freeze these?

Yes. They are delicious straight out of the freezer (they’ll keep for 3 months).

How else can I serve the skewers?

Stick them into a watermelon or pineapple. They make a wonderful fruit centerpiece.
