I promised you a few days ago Champagne Soaked Strawberries. I love making these they are so much fun. The berries turn a bright red while soaking in the champagne, they also become really juicy!
What I love about these is when you bite down on the strawberry,
the champagne bubbles burst on your tongue. It is like having a little party on
your tongue!
Pick your berries, wash, and thoroughly dry them.
Using a clean recycled jar, place berries in the jar and
pour the champagne over them. Make sure the jar you chose, you could get your
fingers down in it to get the berries out. Do not waste champagne that is left
over in the jar… have an early cocktail!
Soak berries in champagne for at least twelve hours in the refrigerator,
twenty-four hours would be best but I understand those of you who cannot wait!

After the allotted time remove berries pat dry then dip them
in Betty Crocker Rich and Cream Vanilla frosting. ** Make sure the frosting is
at room temperature otherwise the frosting will not stick**
Sprinkle frosted berries with either nonpareils or colored
sugar. I prefer the colored sugar, I think the nonpareils are too crunchy.
Serve on dish or in little mini muffin tin liners.
I would also suggest that if you are not going to serve
immediately; place them in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
You can try using chocolate frosting. I have never tried it,
but have not doubt they would be just as yummy!
