4 oz semi-sweet chocolate 1/2 tbsp of canola oil 1 pound of Strawberries yellow candy hearts candy eyes
Wash the fresh strawberries and pat dry with a paper towel. Leave the stems on the strawberries because those with be the bird feet. Add your chocolate in and melt in a small bowl. Heat it for 30-second intervals and stir well until your chocolate is fully melted. Or another option would be to use a double boiler if you prefer to melt chocolate.
Pour the melted chocolate in with the canola oil. This will strengthen the chocolate, so it sticks on the strawberries properly. Next, dip the strawberries ¾ of the way at an angle into the melted chocolate mix. Be sure the tip is covered. It's important to leave an uncovered patch to form the bird's belly.
Place the chocolate dipped bird onto a piece of parchment paper. Before the chocolate sets up place the eyes on so it sticks to the chocolate. Add the candy heart tips, to look like the bird's beak. Place the beak right under the eyes. Let the chocolate harden and serve!
