Can you use frozen strawberries for this recipe?

No – you won’t get the same results. Fresh strawberries are best because the frozen strawberries are going to thaw and release quite a bit of liquid. Plus they tend to have a softer texture.

How do you store these Patriotic Dipped Strawberries once made?

All you need to do is store them in a container with a lid and place them in the fridge. That’s literally it. As long as you keep them cool, they’ll be good for 2-3 days without worry.  But it can also depend on the ripeness of the strawberries when you make them.  If they are damp or too ripe, it’s best to make them the day of the event.
