These **State Fair Chocolate Strawberry Waffles Pops** are unique! Who doesn’t love a chocolate dipped strawberry? Bring it up a notch and wrap your favorite chocolate treat in waffle batter and fry until golden. This isn’t a run of the mill everyday chocolate dipped strawberry. It’s a unique treat that your guests will talk about for years! While everything fried is best right out of the fryer these treats are still good the next day. Store them in the refrigerator (not covered). The chocolate will harden around the strawberry and crispy outer shell will become a little soft but the flavor is most definitely still there.

State Fair Chocolate Strawberry Waffle Pops

Yield: Serves 20 to 25

Ingredients

20 to 25 medium to large strawberries, tops removed
18 ounces dark cocoa candy melts

Optional: shortening (about 1 tablespoon)

2 quarts vegetable oil, for deep frying
2 cups dry waffle mix
1½ cups milk
2 large eggs
confectioners' sugar for dusting
skewers

Instructions

Pull tops off the strawberries
Thread each strawberry onto a wooden skewer; place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Put the chocolate in a deep microwave safe bowl.
Melt in 1 minute intervals, stirring after each.

NOTE: It took (2) 1 minute intervals for my chocolate chips to melt, if chocolate appears to be too thick, add the shortening; stir until melted.

Dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate, making sure to completely submerge the strawberry up to and around the entry area of the skewer.
Place on the prepared baking sheet and freeze until the chocolate hardens (about 15 minutes).
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360°.
While the oil heats, add waffle mix, milk and eggs to a medium bowl; whisk all ingredients together until no lumps appear.
Dip the chocolate covered strawberries in the batter, turning to coat and completely submerging the strawberry so that the batter encases the chocolate.

TIP: What worked best for me was taking only one chocolate covered strawberry out of the freezer at a time, dipping it into the batter and the hot oil to fry.

Fry, turning as needed, until batter is golden and just cooked through.
Remove from hot oil and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Oh. My. Word! I really just have no words for how wonderful this is!!! I can’t wait to make these. I will have to make them when my whole family is home or I would end up eating the whole batch! I am all about the chocolate and strawberries, I just made a chocolate covered strawberry pie but this is magical.

Hi ! I just made these ! I haven’t bitten into them yet so I can’t tell you about the taste but I had some questions about presentation…. how did you get yours to look so perfect? Mine are big round blobs :/ also how long did you deep fry them for ? Also does the brand of waffle mix change anything?

Gabriella on February 26, 2017 at 4:39 pm said:

Also I forgot to ask if I can make these a day ahead or do they get soggy? I’m having a state fair theme party for my daughter and these are so perfect!

  Hi Gabriella, I fried the pops just until they were golden brown. The batter needs to be thin enough to run off the strawberry pops but still coat them. The batter should also be smooth. Just like waffles these pops are only crisp the day they are made. Don’t get me wrong they’re still yummy just not crunchy. Good Luck! 🙂
