chocolate tuxedo strawberries

I saw these on simply recipes, and they are so cute, I just had to see if I could make them! They are not dairy-free. Milk is what makes white chocolate white.
I bought strawberries and chocolate to melt. The unsweetened chocolate was not sweet enough on the strawberry, and the semi-sweet chocolate chips were too sweet- so I mixed them together, and it was perfect! Trader Joe's white chocolate is great because it has more cocoa in it than normal white chocolate.

They take time, and are messy to make, but are also totally worth it. I had 1 big flared strawberry, so I made it into the bride, and surrounded her with a groom and a bunch of men in tuxedos!

They take so much time because you dip the white, let it dry- dip the dark, let it dry- then put on the bows and buttons.

After trying to make the bows and buttons with a piping bag first, I actually personally found it easier to draw them on with a toothpick or skewer. I took them to work, to test them out, and everybody liked them. :)
