Sugar Plum Strawberries

Mom made these at Christmas. My bunch gobbles them up. Great for Christmas Pitch-Ins as an alternative to cookies. This recipe can make a bunch more than 2 dozen strawberries, it all depends on how big you make them. I'm able to get about 40 or so strawberries about as big as my thumb.
