Candy Strawberries
Description
A no-bake holiday candy shaped and decorated to look exactly like tiny strawberries — sweetened condensed milk, chopped pecans, strawberry Jello, and coconut mixed together, chilled, and hand-rolled into strawberry shapes, then coated in red-tinted sugar with a green sugar stem. Charming, festive, and always a conversation starter on any holiday table.

Note
Food-safe red and green sanding sugars are available at craft and baking supply stores. The strawberry Jello in the recipe already gives the candy a pink base color, so the red sugar is mainly for texture and decoration.
