I'm wanting to make an edible flower arangment with fruit. What do I use to stick in the fruit?

How do you make the fruit stand up? I was wanting to do a chocolate covered strawberry one for my husband for valentines day, but I'm a little confused. Also, what kind of chocolate do you use to put on the strawberries? Every kind I've used ends up melting within minutes. Thanks so much!

You have to put the chocolate dipped strawberries in the freezer to get the chocolate hard. Also, use plastic sticks, you can find them at michaels. Ones that are sharp at the tips would be prefferred since it's easier to pierce the fruit on it.
Reply:use wooden shishkabob sticks
Reply:Use wooden/bamboo skewers/kebab sticks.They can be purchased from most places that sell anything to do with bar -be- cues,or possibly try a garden centre.

Reply:What a sweet idea. Use kabob sticks (the wood ones). And there is a dark chocolate made for dipping.
Reply:I use the kabob sticks, the long ones and break them to the size I need. Be sure to soak them in water before inserting into the fruit.





Also, I get the dipping chocolate bark and add 2 ounces parafin to 1/2 pound chocolate. Makes it harder.
Reply:You can aways use a styrofoam base. Use long or short wooden skewers as you would when making a shish kebab.


For the chocolate you can use any flavour of chocolate chips, melted and dip the strawberries in. Chill in the refrigerator and then then wont melt.

use have to use the large chocolate rounds for melting. you can find these at cake and candy stores

Reply:I take it that you have tried the chocolate that they use for fondue
Reply:Try using kebab sticks (you should be able to find them in your local grocery store) They also have special chocolate in the produce department for dipping fruit into that should harden. But you will have to refrigerate the fruit to keep it hard.
