Another Chocolate Covered Strawberry Fail

OK, we get it. This pin looks too delicious and too cool not to attempt:

chocolate covered strawberries

“Make these chocolate covered strawberries in an ice tray. They are portable and easy to take to any picnic.”

Even though we already debunked this one, readers are still sharing their failed attempts with us.

The following photo comes from EP reader Sara P.:

She says: “Chocolate covered strawberries in ice cube trays do not work. The chocolate cracks off when you take them out!”

But please, if you try this one, keep sharing your photos with us! We can all collectively smack our heads together:

Spray Paint Mason Jars Fail

We saw this on Pinterest, and the nice people at Pursewna allowed us to re-post. Thank you!

The original pin: use a hot glue gun and matte spray paint to “upcycle” mason jars and vases:

Says Pursewna: “Unfortunately I was sloppy – all those little strings that happen when you use a glue gun?  They are VERY noticeable when you spray paint over the top of them.  Boo!  This craft project was a MAJOR FAIL!  Grade:  D-”

It’s totally OK! Remember, in crafting, it’s not the destination. It’s the journey:

Fried Cheese Fail

We spotted this fail on Pinterest and couldn’t help but share. The original pin – bread and bake pieces of string cheese as a healthier alternative to deep-fried mozzarella sticks:

We have a message to the original pinner who got our hopes up and lied about a “healthy” alternative to the oh-so-tasty mozzarella sticks:
