Ha!

This seems like that jello worms Pin. You know, where you just pour boiling hot jello into straws and nothing goes wrong with that - nothing at all.

Haha. But I think this would work.

I know they magically have it out in one piece, but I think if you heaped the chocolate on top like they did, you could get it popped out.

I guess I just don't think dipping strawberries in chocolate is that hard to begin with.

[lemondrop]

i think it's just messy and this looks like the perfect size to me.

[fuckyourcouch]

That's my thinking, neener. Conceptually this seems easier but it looks like it ends as a giant PITA. Also in the tray they are sliced, but in the bottom pic they are whole. SHENANIGANS!

I think I like this idea. But melting the chocolate is the most time consuming part of it to me. This looks like it could be less messy than dipping the strawberries and transferring them to cool. You could use a turkey baster to drop the chocolate into the ice cube tray.

[dapotato]

this is one example of many of why i hate pinterest.

xo,
someone who just pinned a shitload last night

Have fun cleaning your hardened chocolate out of a turkey baster!


The last image is a commercial product, not the pinterst person's picture. If it was, the chocolate would by cubed, not covering each strawberry nicely.


What (commercially) they've done here is dip the strawberries, and set them simultaneously in a form to make a chocolate bar. I've seen these at specialty shops.

:-( why must you ruin it for me?

[janiejones]

Because I don't want pinterest to fool you.
