1. Rinse strawberries and let them dry on a paper towel lined container or dish. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.

2. Place one toothpick into the center of each strawberry’s leafy. head. This makes it easier to hold the strawberries while you dip them.

3. Melt wafers in microwave on defrost/soften setting in ten second spurts, stirring after each spurt. Keep heating until the wafers are smooth and fully melted. Do not scorch.

4. Make the clock center by cutting the tip off the end of a strawberry and covering it in the white chocolate, and then covering it in the gold sprinkles. Place on parchment to set. Alternatively, you could use a raspberry.

5. Hold each strawberry by the toothpick and gently roll it around in the white chocolate until covered on all sides. Place on parchment to set.

6. Drizzle each strawberry with the remaining white chocolate using a spoon. Right after you drizzle a strawberry, sprinkle the sprinkles onto it.

7. Assemble the clock hands by taking either two toothpicks or a wooden skewer (broken into two pieces) and place them at the top of the platter to resemble clock hands about to strike midnight. Then place the clock center at the very center of the platter.

8. Arrange strawberries around the clock where the numbers would be. Start with the 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 positions, and then continue to fill the clock in until all twelve strawberries are used.

9. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Happy New Year!
