In honor of the upcoming superbowl, which, unfortunately doesn't include 'my' Cowboys, BUT does include my haunting grounds....and in honor of the strawberries that will be going bad in a few days if I don't do something with them....I put these little guys together. I actually saw this idea on Etsy. they sold all kinds of sports strawberries, and I thought it was a cute idea. These would be really cute on a little astro turf, or green serving dish. I only plated them long enough to take a picture, and then I did what I do best....eat them.
I just used 'normal' chocolate chips, melted them down 30 seconds at time, stirring in between (it took about 80 seconds), dipped, and once it they dried on wax paper, I piped on my laces using icing, but white chocolate would work too. This could be neater, but that's what the actual superbowl is for, right? Room to improve.

I am so making these for my Valentine who happens to love football as much as he loves strawberries. :)
Very cute!! I'd enjoy football a lot more if I could eat those during the games. ^.^
Btw, I'm stopping by from Funky Junk's Saturday Nite Special and hope you'll come join my Winter Blog Hop, too.
so fun & cute-my boys will love these! I featured you this morning: http://puertabella.blogspot.com/2011/01/strawberry-footballs.html
Thanks for sharing this! What a cute idea! My husband is a true blue, die-hard Cowboys fan and then by default football in general. We eat. sleep. breathe. football in my family from August until February! These will come in handy! I will definitely be following! Us Cowboys fans have to stick together after the season we had!
So clever! I love this idea! Come link up to my Sew Crafty Party!
