Strawberry Frosting Shot1Are you the kinda person who eats the cake or the frosting? I’ve always been a frosting gal. I’d rather lick all the frosting off a cupcake than eat the cupcake itself. Remember those birthday cakes our parents used to get us from the grocery store? The ones with the giant frosting roses or rainbows? Yes, those ones! The cake was always subpar, but the sugary creamy frosting was pure awesomeness. I would request a corner piece (extra frosting because you got 2 exterior sides, duh!) and a large frosting rose on top. The largest rose on the cake. Then I would pretty much eat all the frosting and leave the cake behind. Haha. Sooooo Gooooood….

Strawberry Hearts BouqetThis beautiful bouquet of marshmallow chocolate covered strawberry hearts makes a unique and tasty gift for your Valentine!

Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching! I love to create unique treats for the holidays and Valentine’s Day is no exception. What do you give your valentine? I enjoy making things for my loved ones, and these chocolate covered strawberries are no exception. I didn’t want to make just any chocolate covered strawberries, I took it father….much farther! I cut them into heart shapes, stuffed them with Dandies Marshmallows (which are delicious as well as vegan and gluten-free!), put them onto wood skewers and arranged them in a ball jar to make an extraordinary and breathtakingly beautiful bouquet. AND you can eat it!!! It is truly DIY craft meets yummy delectable dessert!

And I didn’t stop there! I made a ooey gooey strawberry marshmallow fluff dipping sauce to accompany the berries. Can you say YUM!? This indulgent dessert may look, sound, and taste sinful, but it’s secretly healthy. No worries here. You don’t have to sacrifice taste or your healthy eating habits this year. And Valentine’s Day is NOT one of those holidays that you eat-to-you-pop. You know what I mean?? Haha.

Strawberry Hearts Ingredients

Dandies Marshmallows are stuffed inside these chocolate covered berries, and you get to double-dip into some sticky, sweet and fluffy marshmallow sauce. I adore these marshmallows. I couldn’t stop eating them when I was shooting. They are all-natural, vegan and gluten-free and you can TASTE the difference. PURE. SOFT. FLUFFY PILLOWS OF JOY 🙂

Marshmallow Stuffed Chocolate Covered Strawberry Heart Bouquet

This beautiful bouquet of marshmallow chocolate covered strawberry hearts makes a unique and tasty gift for your Valentine!

  • 1 box of strawberries
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (Enjoy Life brand)
  • 1 cup Dandies Mini Marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup of shredded coconut or sprinkles
  • 6-8 wood skewers or wood chopsticks
  • 1 ball jar filled with crushed ice
  1. Cut tops off of the strawberries in a V-shape to make the strawberry look like a heart. (set 3-4 strawberries aside for juicing.)
  2. If needed use a pairing knife to core the strawberry.
  3. Stuff the strawberry with 1-2 mini marshmallows. Repeat for the remaining strawberries.
  4. Melt the chocolate chips over low-medium heat in a small saucepan.
  5. Blend the coconut shreds or sprinkles in a high speed blender to make finer shreds or use sprinkles.

  7. Place 3 chocolate covered and stuffed berries onto every skewer.
  8. You can use the strawberry leaves at the bottom to make a flower.

  10. When you are ready to eat the berries make the pink fluffy dip, do not make ahead.
  11. Melt the remaining marshmallows over low heat.
