Melt the white candy melts (or chocolate chips) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after every interval. Dip the bottom of the strawberries in the white chocolate.

Dip the white chocolate into the bowl of finely shredded coconut. Skewer the toothpick into the middle of the strawberry and pierce the other end into the styrofoam to let the white candy melt set. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
