INGREDIENTS
White chocolate – either a block of chocolate or white chocolate melts are fine
Strawberries
Small milk choc chips for eyes and mouth
STEPS
- Melt white chocolate in microwave in 20 second intervals until it is all melted and in a smooth consistency.
- Dip strawberries into melted white chocolate making sure they are nearly completely covered and pop on a baking mat to start cooling
- Before the chocolate sets, pop on the small milk chocolate chips in the position of eyes and a mouth

- Pop into bread rolls and add tomato sauce to the end of the sizzler that doesn’t have the finger nail cut out of it – strategically smear a bit more tomato sauce around for added effect!
